Selecting a Country-Specific Modem

Configuration

If the label "3Com" is at the end of the modem name, use the instructions for internal modems by 3Com below. If that label is not there, use the instructions for all other internal modems below.

■3Com internal modems— select Start⊕Programs⊕Compaq internal modem⊕WorldPort⊕General tab, then select the country in which you

will be using the modem.

■All other internal modems— select Start⊕Settings⊕Control

Panel⊕Modem⊕Dialing Properties, then select the country where you will be using the modem.

Travel Connection Checklist

If you experience connection problems while using the modem outside your home country, the following suggestions may help.

■Check the telephone line type—The modem requires an analog, not a digital, telephone line. A telephone line described as a data line, fax machine line, modem line, or standard telephone line is probably an analog line.

■Check for pulse or tone dialing—Dial a few digits on the telephone and listen for clicks (pulses) or tones. Then make sure your communication software is set to the corresponding dialing mode (pulse or tone).

■Check the telephone number you are dialing and the response of the remote modem—Dial the telephone number on the telephone, wait for the remote modem to answer, then hang up.
