First of all, be sure that the connection you have configured on the computers are Dial Up connections.

If you have restrictions activated on the telephone line, removing them might help. Some other services of your telephone provider can also prevent your modems to properly detect the dial tone. It might be worth to take a look in that direction.

It might also be a problem with the telephone line. Try also to dial the number normally entered in the dial-up connections. You should hear a ringing tone shortly followed by noises similar to a fax machine. If you hear this, you access correctly to your providers dial up server and the problem would be with the two computers.

Generic answer

You MUST get dial tone to talk or listen. Your base may ring but this may be unrelated to the telephone signal.

Check all wires and all settings. Are yoju certain your hand set is a member of your telephone group?

Pick up a telephone handset (or use your cell-phone),
and dial the EXACT same numbers.
Does it ring forever, or does the remote FAX "answer" the call, and then start sending "tones" to your telephone?

no dial tone on my cordless

Check to see if you have a dial tone. If not, plug a regular home phone into the jack in the wall and see if you can call it or dial out. You might have a dead phone line.

Refer to your manual. It may be under RX(recieve settings). Go disable FAX/Tel SW and make sure it is fax mode only
