Internet connection using pulse dial-up
Unable to connect to ISP from my Xp Windows computer from a rotary phone location (after in "phone and modem options," clicking "edit" and in "Dial using" selecting "pulse)"; computer dials at the rapid "tone" rate just like after pressing redial on a touch tone phone'
My alternate computer with Windows 98 dials digits singly at the pulse rate and always makes a successful connection.
At another location the Xp computer was able to connect using pulse dialing. Wondering if the modem driver needs to be reloaded or some further "editing" is required to get the Xp system out of the "tone" dialing mode? Paul, Canada

Howdy Paul,
There are so many things that could be causing your complications here that a little testing is in order. I have had certain iffy lines cause the dial to fail in the past and so I wonder about that with you since it connects in one location and not another.
Humor me for a sec and try putting a comma between each on the digits in the number.
what would be:
555-1212
... becomes:
5,5,5,1,2,1,2
... and see what happens. This will cause a short pause between digits dialed. If it connects, and you can live with it then there you go. If not, let me know and we will go from there.
