Do you have an ISP established?
Are you using your ISP's s/w to connect?
Are you sure you are not dialing more or fewer numbers than you need to in your calling area?
Are you hearing a dial tone before you hear your modem dial?
Try calling the local access number from your phone--you should hear 3 tones.
Try using Hyperterminal to dial the local access #.
Have you tried to build a manual connection with Windows Dial Up Networking?
Try disabling v92 (if applicable) or adding 4 commas after the phone number you are dialing--it helps the modem and internet exchange info a little more effectively.
