Modem Problems
The built-in modem does not respond -
n Make sure the modem driver is loaded properly.
n Go to [Start > Settings > Control Panel > Phone and
Modem Options] and go to Modems tab. Make sure a 56K
Voice Modem is listed. Otherwise, click the Add button to add
the modem driver.
n Go to [Start > Settings > Control Panel > System] and
click Device Manager button in the Hardware page to check for
possible resource or driver conflict. See Windows on-line help
or manual for how to handle such problems.
n Make sure the phone line, which the computer is
connected to, is working.
Connection difficulties -
n Be sure to disable Call Waiting on the phone line.
n Be sure to have the correct country setting where your
computer is used. [Start > Settings > Control Panel > Modem
Settings > Configuration] In the Country/Area pull-down menu,
select the appropriate country setting.
n Excessive line noise might cause the connection to be
dropped. To check this, put the regular phone handset on the
line and placing a phone call. If you do hear abnormal noise, try
to make the modem connection with a different line or contact
your local telephony company for service.
n Make sure the cable connection is firm.
n Try a different receiver number and see if the problem
persists.
