I was looking for a dialer program or something to use that would verify that my modem dials out. I am thinking about switching back to dialup internet access and want to verify that my modem works first.

I hooked up a phone line, found a few instances of dialer.exe, added my own phone number to the speed dial list, left-clicked it and chose "Dial" a couple of times but nothing seemed to happen.

Control Panel > Phone & Modem Options > Modem tab shows that I have a PCTel 2304WT V.9X MDC Modem attached to COM3.

Is there quick way to simply verify that this modem does dial out? This is on a C610 with Windows XP Pro.

Thank you
