Modem Problems

If the Modem Seems Slow
■
Excess static or noise on a line reduces the overall
transmission speed of the modem connection. If necessary,
contact your telephone company about fixing this type of
problem.
■
If you are dialing internationally, line noise is often a problem
that is difficult or impossible to eliminate.
■
If you have call-waiting, disable it. Your telephone company
can provide instructions. Call-waiting can cause symptoms
similar to static.
