Are you sure that you have a good telephone line/number?  It sounds like
you're having trouble dialing out.  Try connecting a telephone to the
"phone" jack on the back of the modem and then the number above ( "
<01256840771 " ). See if you even can connect to the modem at the remote end.  

BTW, do you have to dial "9" to get an outside line at your place of work?

HTH,
