You can also go into network neighborhood and set up a new connection. &nbsp;Go through the steps...acting like you have an ISP...just use your own phone number. &nbsp;If it dials, &nbsp;most likely the modem is working.<br />
<br />
Depending on where you live, you can also do a google search for free dialup internet. &nbsp;There are plenty of companies that offer free internet with ads...but it will atleast help you test.

Use Winfax to check the dialing + capability to send fax as well :-), if you can not find winfax then <br />
you can easily add the any of the available component from Control Panel&gt;Add/Remove programs&gt;Add/Remove Windows Components<br />
but you will be needing CD of your operating system.<br />

I need to find out how to get a &quot;dialer&quot; &nbsp;so I can test a modem on a machine that does not have an internet service to dial up to. &nbsp;I don't want to give back the machine until I am really sure that this modem works. Can you help me?
