CONNECTING ONLINE TO ANOTHER COMPUTER
If the screen displays the message:
Carrier detected!
you have connected online to the other computer. Your ATARI
Computer now functions as a remote terminal in the other
computer system.
After a few seconds the screen will display the first message from
the other system. Information services and many bulletin boards
will ask for your log-on ID and password. Type the responses
required by that system. You must obtain your log-on information
from the service or bulletin board.
If you fail to connect, the screen displays the message:
No connection made!
after your modem dials the phone number. One of the following
may have happened:
• The line was busy. If your system's sound is on, you will hear
the busy signal.
• There was no answer. After a certain number of rings, XE Term
hangs up and tells you no connection was made. Check the
number you're trying to reach and try again.
• Your modem was not hooked up to your system properly. Check
the cord connecting your modem to the drive or printer and
make sure it is connected properly.
• The phone cord was not connected to the modem or wall jack.
Check that the cord is connected properly.
