ISP Information:
A key on a computer keyboard that typically adds 64 bits to the ASCII value of a key being pressed. Based on the program that is running, it can have different effects. It was added to create more key combinations besides just using the Shift key. In selection of items, holding down the Ctrl key will typically allow you to select or de-select a single item from a group without affecting the rest of your selection.

As a way of giving into me or to shut me up they sent me free of charge a usb modem, which arrived yesterday, I was told to install it and it would work after this didnt work I phoned them today and refused to pay a �1 a min to ring their help line they agreeded to get a tec to ring me, he told me to take my modem from the machine and it would work, I did that when i got home and now are recieving error 775. I just feel compleatly ripped off but looks like I'm back on the phone tomorrow. I am certainly going to report them to everybody I can think off trading standards watchdog which !!!!!!! Friday 7th November 9.40am Just spent 40 minutes on the phone to customer services who have refused to let me speak to a manager and only advise she kept repeating was ring premiun line, she wouldn't let me return the pc so my next course of action is to contact trading standards, but I'm at a loss at what to do I am totally fed up. I too have just recieved the USB modem, and like you I still get the same error message. Using Hyperterminal, I connected to COM4 and did 'adtd 1' and am STILL told 'RESTRICTED' This means that either this modem has the same restriction, OR its a software thing after all! I have bought the Modem home and installed it on MY PC and to my surprise, I can connect to any number.. So this clearly is something that Tiny/Supernet install on their PCs! I will now remove every trace of Supernet from the Registry and if that fails, will have to do a new OS install!I have a theory about this.. If the modem would call ANY number usingATDT, but a 'Dial Up Connection' wouldn't, then we could blame the OS.However, in this case, the modem is to blame, but ONLY on this PC (Asproved by putting the modem on another PC).. I can't see how Windowscan stop a modem from dialing using ATDT directly using a commspackage.BUT.. I wonder if the modem init string that gets set every time thePC boots, puts the modem in this state? But then again, AT&F shouldfix it.I am going to take a serial modem and communicate to it usingHyperterm, just to be sure I can dial any number.I am then going to install it as a modem (i.e let the PC recognisethat its a modem) and try again. If my theory is right, after this isdone, the modem will report "restricted" when dialing numbers.
