357175 2005-05-21 05:13:00 Ive a curly one. Changed to a Uniden portable phone from Telecom standard wall mounted model. Now my DlinkDFM-560E modem wont dial up UNLESS the phone is nearby and switched on! Contacted Uniden - they tested and are baffled - suggest modem must be at fault. Once connected the modem works fine. Any ideas? Lopper lopper (8170)
357176 2005-05-21 05:37:00 Doubt its a modem fault.

I would look at a wiring anomaly, possibly a 2 wire/3 wire issue.

The old phone would have been 3 wire, the Uniden is 2 wire.
Its hard to see how that would affect it, but we don't know if your house wiring is correct.

What happens if the Uniden is unplugged from the phone circuit at the wall?
