Travel Connection Checklist
If you experience connection problems while using the
modem outside your home country, the following suggestions
may help.
n Check the telephone line type—The modem requires an
analog, not a digital, telephone line. A telephone line
described as a data line, fax machine line, modem line, or
standard telephone line is probably an analog line.
n Check for pulse or tone dialing—Dial a few digits on the
telephone and listen for clicks (pulses) or tones. Then
make sure your communication software is set to the
corresponding dialing mode (pulse or tone).
n Check the telephone number you are dialing and the
response of the remote modem—Dial the telephone
number on the telephone, wait for the remote modem to
answer, then hang up.
