- Get SYSCHK from my Page and make sure that the serial port is functional.
-
- Verify that the phone line & cable are working. DON'T JUST ASSUME this!
- Make sure you've got the rj-11 plug in the proper slot (LINE) on the modem.
-
- Go into your com software & make sure that all settings are correct. If
- you hear your modem pick up the line, get dial tone, and then dial - then
- you're 99% there!
-
- You might need to upgrade the serial port to a 16550A UART or equivalent
- to get proper performance if the modem is faster then 9600
