•   In Control Panel, open Modems (Windows ME, 95 or 98) or Phone And Modem 
Options (Windows 2000). Select the modem and click Properties, then check the 
volume setting on the General tab. 
If the modem connects, but transferred data is bad 
•   In Control Panel, open Modems (Windows ME, 95 or 98) or Phone And Modem

printer.

a digital line. In a hotel, ask for a data line.
