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.
Eliminate extra connections in the line. If possible, connect
directly to the wall jack.
Try another telephone line, preferably one normally used for
a fax machine or modem.
If the Modem Does Not Dial or No Dial Tone Is
Detected
Check all cables and connections.
Connect a standard telephone to the phone line and make sure
the line is working.
Make sure someone else is not using the same phone line.
