Problems with dial-up under OS X 10.3

Recently I have a lot of problems dialing up to the internet. Out of about 10 attempts, it works only about two times.

The modem starts to dial, but disconnects after 10 seconds with the message "Error with your telephone line, no dial tone detected. Please check your phone line and try again."

My phone works without any problems. I already tried replacing the modem cable, but that did not help. Does anybody expierienced any similar problems, or has an idea what I could check system sides under OS X?

Thanks in advance for any hints and help. :)
 
Try going into your System Preferences, then to the Network pane. Select the modem (double-click), and then go to the Modem pane. Uncheck "Wait for dial tone before dialing" and see if that helps.

If it doesn't, and I'm assuming you're using an Apple internal 56k modem, you can also try selecting a new modem script in the same pane. Under Modem:, select Apple Internal 56k Modem (v.34) and see if that helps.
 
I already tried that, but it had no effects.

It's just like my Mac sometimes just does not want to connect to the net... :(

Could reinstalling the modem-software alone from the system DVD help?
