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; the modems may be having problems negotiating due to modem incompatibilities or line noise. Try connecting at a lower speed by setting register S37 to a lower rate (e.g., by typing ATS37=11 in the terminal window and pressing ENTER) and then calling again.

You can disable call waiting automatically by including the disabling code in the modem’s dial prefix (e.g., ATDT*70,—note the comma, which inserts a pause before the telephone number is dialed). For example, to change the dial prefix in MultiExpress Terminal, select Setup and Modem. Then select the modem type you are using and type the new prefix in the Dial Prefix box.
