• If the modem reports
NO ANSWER
, the other system has failed to go
off-hook, or you might have dialed a wrong number. Check the
number.
• 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.
