If you can hear PageGate pick up the phone and get a dial tone before it dials, skip to the next step. If you don't currently have HyperTerminal running, follow the steps in the above section so that HyperTerminal is running and responds with an 'OK' when you type 'AT<cr>'.
Type 'ATDT<cr>'. You should hear a dial tone. Some modems may have their speakers turned off. That is ok. After a little while you should get one of two messages on the HyperTerminal screen: 'No Carrier' or 'No Dialtone'. 'No Carrier' is a good response, you have dialtone. 'No Dialtone' … well that one needs no further explanation.
