Problem: Your online service reports a connect speed that doesn’t match your modem’s speed.
Solution: To get your online service software to report the actual connect speed, add W2 to the end of the initialization string, or to the dial prefix, just before the D, as in these examples:
Initialization string: AT&F&C1&D2W2
Dial prefix: ATW2D
Consult your online service’s documentation for details on initialization strings and dial pre- fixes. Actual connect speeds depend on your modem’s speed, the equipment you’re con- necting to, and phone line conditions.
Problem: Your modem disconnects while communicat- ing with a remote system.
Solution: The remote system has hung up.
The telephone line disrupted your call. If your telephone service includes Call Waiting, turn it off if possible before making modem calls. Ask your telephone company if you can temporarily disable Call Waiting by pressing *70 (tone di- aling) or dialing 1170 (pulse dialing). If so, in- clude *70, (the comma is part of the code) for tone dialing or 1170, for pulse dialing as a pre- fix with the telephone numbers in the soft- ware’s dialing directory. Or you can add the code to the dial string or initialization string in the software’s setup. Be sure to include the comma. Note: This helps with outgoing but not incoming calls.
