Question: So how do i hook up a modem? |
Answer: Look in your manual for installation instructions. |
I will point out that modems (almost always - both external and internal)
have 2 phone jacks. One is to connect the modem to the telephone company
by way of a wall jack. The other connection is for a regular phone. Don't
get them backwards.
Question: I can dial - but I can't get connected.
Answer: There could be many things contributing to this. I've
talked to many people that had the cords switched and this is exactly
what happened - so - check the cables again. The wall goes into the line
plug on the modem. The phone plug has the cable that goes to the phone
you can talk on. Check it again.
Question: I keep getting disconnected when I'm online.
Answer: If you have call waiting you should check to make sure
you are disablng this feature. Your computer should have a disable call
waiting feature. Most places - if you dial *70 prior to your call
it will disable call waiting for that call (again - your software should
have a way to do this).
