Hi there again and thanks for your time.

When I opened the control panel I was unable to find any telephony (but I remember it from my old win 98)

What I found was phone and modem options.
Under that > modems, I found this

Modems --------- attached
Nokia 7110 --------- not attached

Other things to see there was just that the internal modem for the phone line was attached to com3 but that's irrelevant.

As I said before it seems that I am just one little step from being able to make the phone dial. Every things look good, lap and phone are in good connection but when I hit 'dial' this error message pops and the countdown for a new redial starts, just like when you hadn't connected the phone line on a regular modem.

you descriped that I should try to look through 'properties' in network connections but there is no trace of the phone there, you can just choose Ir modem or regular one.

I think this looks a bit different than win98

I prehaps should drop this subject and try to find some moneyeating IT jockey that can fiddle with this for me, however that has to wait

Any further info would be nice though

Regards
