Verify that the modem is installed correctly (model 680e

only) and connected to the telephone line.

home telephone lines are analog, while most office tele-

phone lines are digital.)

this, on the Start menu, point to Programs, point to

Communication, and then tap Remote Networking.

Select your connection, and then tap Properties on the

File menu. In the Dial-Up Connection dialog box, tap

Configure and then tap the Call Options tab. Verify

that Wait for dial tone before dialing is selected.

dial tone before dialing check box.

Allow more time for the call to go through if you are

Options tab described in the previous step, clear the

Cancel the call if not connected within option or
