For the location of your modem jack, see
Make sure that your convertible notebook is connected
to the telephone line and the telephone line has a dial
tone.
Make sure that the modem cable is less than 6 feet
(1.8 meters) long.
Remove any line splitters or surge protectors from your
telephone line, then check for a dial tone by plugging
a working telephone into the telephone wall jack.
If you have additional telephone services such as call
waiting, call messaging, or voice mail, make sure that
all messages are cleared and call waiting is disabled
before using the modem. Contact your telephone
service to get the correct code to temporarily disable
the service. Also make sure that the modem dialing
properties are set appropriately.
