Actually the USR modems usually do this wrong. Their tone detection is pathetic. The official approved Hong Kong version of the USR Sportster thinks our Hong Kong dial tone is busy tone, so I have to disable some of the tone detecting features. In any country the detector will only work part of the time. International calls obviously screw it. A laptop modem while roaming needs the tone detector turned off. More significantly, local calls can fail because many PBXs and other customer premises equipment can create a ring back far different from the general local ring back.
I think a feature that only works half the time is a bug. Therefore, USR and ZyXEL modems tend to stand out as being the most bugful.
