Connecting Telephone Line and Phoneset
Before using the modem, you need to connect your telephone line and
phoneset to the card. To ensure that the modem works properly, know
that:
❑ Your modem cannot be used on “party lines”, nor can it be used
on toll or coin-operated lines.
Contact your local telephone company for help if you are not
sure about the suitability of your telephone line.
