•If the modem reports NO ANSWER, the other system has failed to go
•If the modem reports NO CARRIER, the phone was answered at the other end, but no connection was made. You might have dialed a wrong number, and a person answered instead of a computer, or you might have dialed the correct number but the other computer or software was turned off or faulty. Check the number and try again, or try calling another system to make sure your modem is working. Also, try calling the number on your telephone. If you hear harsh sounds, then another modem is answering the call, and the modems may be having problems negotiating because of modem incompatibilities or line noise. Try connecting at a lower speed.
