If you have the current firmware for your modem, it should work with pulse. Arris had to make it's MTA's pulse compatible due to old alarm systems that still utilize pulse dialing.
I have touch tone phones, but I want to keep my vintage phones with the capability of dialing and also ringing.I have touch tone phones, but I want to keep my vintage phones with the capability of dialing and also ringing.

Are you sure about the phone model number?
Tone/pulse is set in the common equipment (KSU) configuration, not the individual set.
Press Feature 9*80 to see the system software version.
As long as you have phone service you should be able to plug a fax machine into the telephone port, you may need to change your fax machine to tone dialing from pulse.
on an arris modem, if the telephone light is solid, then there is dial tone coming into the modem. that means the problem is somewhere in the house wiring. check to make sure the phone line is plugged into line 1 on the back of the modem. next make sure it is plugged into the wall jack. if this is correct then you need the cable co to come out and troubleshoot your inside wiring. as a quick fix, you can plug your phone into the jack on the back of the modem labled line 1/2
Here's what the manual says:
Changing the Dial Mode (Tone or Pulse Dialing)
(HS1 only)
Your phone can communicate with the telephone network in two different
ways: tone dialing or pulse dialing. These days, most phone networks use a
method called tone dialing, so your phone comes programmed for tone dialing.
If your phone company uses pulse dialing, you need to change your phone's
dial mode. If you don't get a dial tone or can't connect to the telephone
network, follow the steps below to modify your phone?s settings:
With the phone in standby, press and hold [cid/menu].
Press [vol/ / ] to move the pointer to select DIAL.
Press [select/channel] to set the phone to pulse dialing.
Press [end].
Return the handset to the base. The handset communicates the new
setting to the base, and the base activates the setting on any other
handsets.
Hope this helps out.

I still need a model number, but if it's not possible and you reeeally want to use the cordless, if you have a modem in your computer, you can have it dial pulse, pick up the cordless, and hang up the modem......
The problem is possibly the keypad on the phone. Try another phone , preferrably a standard corded phone. If you still cannot break the dial tone, then the problem is with the telephone line (phone company)
TONE/PULSE DIALING To set to tone or pulse dialing: 1. Press and hold the program button for two seconds. You will hear a beep. 2. Press the *tone button to select Tone Dialing or press #pause to select Pulse Dialing. 3. Press the program button again. You will hear a confirmation tone.
