The modem usually needs to recognise the dial tone or the engaged tone among others for it to respond accordingly. In most cases, usually not evident to the user, the hi-speed modems examine the lines intimately through the handshaking phase, during which time; the modems are able to engage in the maximum speeds possible on two communicating and different modems.

The country setting (Auto) driver is useful because most communicating modems assume that other modems are within the same locality. If this assumption by the receiving modem is not true, then the need for the driver arises.
