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 using ATDT, 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 (As proved by putting the modem on another PC).. I can't see how Windows can stop a modem from dialing using ATDT directly using a comms package. BUT.. I wonder if the modem init string that gets set every time the PC boots, puts the modem in this state? But then again, AT&F should fix it. I am going to take a serial modem and communicate to it using Hyperterm, just to be sure I can dial any number. I am then going to install it as a modem (i.e let the PC recognise that its a modem) and try again. If my theory is right, after this is done, the modem will report "restricted" when dialing numbers.Hi I have just taken delivery of Time pc unawre of supanetdesignaated modem. Can anyone let me know if they resolved theirproblem and how!Thanks Sue
