Check to be sure your Modem hardware is functioning properly. In Windows 95 and
98 open your Control Panel and then double-click on the System applet. When the
applet opens, left mouse click on the tab that says Device Manager. This will display
different hardware groupings. Double click on the entry that says Network Adapters.

Event Log to see if there any messages indicating a problem with the Modem.
If the cable is connected, and you are still unable to establish a physical connection,
