Ten-digit dialing does not
work correctly under Windows
95.
Ten-digit dialing doesnt work
correctly under Windows 95,
making it difficult to dial
numbers in a different area
code that are not long
distance calls.
Since Windows 95 does not limit the number

field, set the Area Code field to match your
local area code. Then type the ten-digit
telephone number in the Phone Number
field.

telephony devices (Germany,
Austria, and Switzerland only).
The modem cable does not
provide the additional 4-wire
connection required in
Germany, Austria, and
Switzerland to form the serial
pass-through necessary so
that other devices can work
on the same phone line.
To use another telephony device on the
same line in these countries, unplug the
modem cable from the wall jack first.

The computer is not
receiving a response from the
modem. Check that the
modem is plugged in, and if
necessary, turn the modem
off, then turn it back on.
