[hsflinux] Re: hsfmodem-6.03.00lnxt03091800full failure

[Peter B. West]

I have tried the suggestion of setting my country to USA, but that 
didn't work.

When I start to dial, the sound I am getting from the speakers is 
strange - it's like a stutter or regular quick beat over the top of the 
normal audio feedback from the modem.  I had noticed this originally.
