Dial tone

[George]

I am used to hearing dial tone when I dial up to go online. (I am way
out in the country and do not have access to cable or dsl.) I was
fooling around in the registry per a tech tip to improve the Windows
Explorer memory of settings. I may or may not have succeeded in
improving the memory, but I later discovered that I could no longer
hear dial tone when I went online. Is there a setting or a registry
entry to control hearing dial tone?
