If you use software that uses a phone line:
The computer may not be able to disconnect the phone line due to


communication and server conditions.

mail Notification System, and manually disconnect the phone line if you
notice a malfunction. Furthermore, when using the timer to start the

first time.
Set the e-mail software to disconnect the phone line automatically when all


mail has been downloaded.
