I do not have dsl in my area yet. I have a message service via the phone company. When there is a message I get a studdered ring which blocks the modem. How do I put in a delay to prevent this and allow use of the modem?
Is your modem on auto-answer? It should be insensitive to ringing if it is NOT.
I think he's referring to a "studdered" dial tone, which the modem doesn't recognize. The fix is to configure the modem to dial without waiting for the dial tone, however a pause will be required before dialing. I don't recall the details, as it's been years since I last configured a modem.
