  If you are experiencing modem or communications errors with your IBM Desktop, try the following: 1. Make sure the telephone cord is securely plugged into both the telephone outlet in the wall and the system unit. 2. Verify the telephone line is working by plugging a working telephone into the same outlet and making a call. 3. Ensure you are calling the correct number and using the correct communications settings. 4. Confirm that no one is using the telephone while you are communicating with another computer. 5. If some communications programs work while others do not, there might be a configuration problem. 6. Make sure your modem cord is connected to an analog telephone line. 7. Ensure the modem adapter card is installed correctly.
