Your modem may not be used on "party lines", or on toll or
coin-operated lines.
Contact your local telephone company for help if you are not
sure about the suitability of your telephone line.
This modem is intended for use on an analog telephone line,
also called a POTS (Plain Old Telephone Service) line. You
cannot connect the modem directly to a digital telephone line,
such as those commonly found in businesses.
If you must connect to a digital line, obtain an analog converter
compatible with the telephone line you are using.
Certain optional telephone features, such as a "message
waiting" light or call waiting, are not compatible with this
modem and should not be present on the telephone line on
which the modem is to be used.
