Multiplayer modem bug?

I am trying to play two-player modem wc2, but the setup screen for 
the multiplayer game forbids me to start the game.  I have 
connected, I am at the screen to setup the game, and it makes the 
start game button gray, so that I can't click it.  I can talk to 
my friend but we can't start the game.  I have tried everything on 
the screen - closing out most all players, changing scenarios, 
messing with options - no luck.  Any Ideas? The dern button just 
stays gray.

  How come just because someone can't figure out how to do something
they call it a bug? ;)
  Seriously, if you are calling your friend then have him click the little
ruby colored button beside his name. This signs him into the game and the
start button will turn the correct color. If he calls you then you have to 
click it beside your name.

	Tell your friend to click the box next to his name. X means hes on.
Thats really stupid that it doesn't default to on when you connect. I
mean, hey, you answered the phone, so why the hell wouldn't you want
to play!

The person on the "answer" end, needs to check the red box by their
name off, then select the scenarion and begin to play.
