Modem Problems

My modem doesn't connect to services or disconnects during communication
If your modem has difficulty in connecting to on-line services and sustaining
communications, firstly check the quality of the phone line. Interference from
certain devices or poor line power conditions may degrade the quality of your
connection. Under these conditions gradually reduce the communication speed of
your modem until a reliable connection is achieved.
Check your on-line service provider. Service line or service may be halted.
When using a PBX phone system I can't dial on my modem.
If you use a PBX phone system you may need to press a number i.e. '9' to connect
to an external line, you should enter the following command before trying the
connection and check modem initialization.
ATX3&W
And add "9," as the external line prefix (in our example) of the phone number
when using the dial command "ATDT9, 123-4567".
Screen displays random or garbage characters during communications.
After your modem has connected to the on-line service, your screen may display
garbage characters or after-images in screen transitions. This problem is caused
by a mismatch of the terminal modes between communications service and
communications programs. You need to match the terminal modes to each other.
Refer the user's guide of the communications program you're using.

Delete the unnecessary messages or data you received by Modem or Fax every
one to three months as required.
If you're using WWW of the internet, many picture and data files can get
downloaded to your HARD DISK every time you visit a home page, which will
consume a lot of your HARD DISK space. Delete the unnecessary messages or
data you received by Modem or Fax every one to three months as required. For
more detailed information about the method of deleting, refer to the help of the
Web browser you've been using or your user's guide.
