This section lists common modem problems.

Make sure the cable from the modem to the telephone line is firmly 
connected to the computer’s modem port and the telephone line 
jack.

Check the communications parameters (baud rate, parity, data 
length and stop bits) specified in the communications program. It 
should be set up to transmit at 300, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 14400, 
28800, 33600 bps (bits per second) or higher. Refer to the 
program’s documentation and the modem manual for information 
on how to change these settings.

Make sure the line has a dial tone. Connect a telephone handset to 
the line to check this.

The other system may be busy or off line. Try making a test 
transmission to someone else.
