Do you have BT Call Minder 1571 and suffer internet dial up trouble?
If you use the BT Telephone Call Minder Service (1571) then you could be suffering internet problems that you may not be aware of!
If your modem is having trouble logging onto the internet then it may be caused by the BT Call Minder service.
BT's Call minder service changes the dial tone everytime you have messages to listen to, from a constant dial tone to a pulse tone.
Your modem may be getting confused as most are setup to dial only when they detect the standard tone.
-----------------------------------------
The way to avoid this:
Either check/listen to all your messages before you dial up the internet or go into your modem settings and un-check the box that says: wait for dial tone.
Hope this helps,
