If your system has a v.90 modem, the speed at which you can upload (send)
data is limited to 33.6K. If your system has a v.92 modem, the speed at which
you can upload data is limited to 48K. Your ISP may not support 48K uploads.
You can check modem connection speeds and dial-up network (DUN)
connections by accessing the
gateway.your.way dial-up server . The server also
contains drivers, patches, and updates for current Gateway hardware and
software.
The server provides a secure connection and is a stand-alone server. You cannot
use it to access the Internet. The server cannot be accessed Mondays from

Make sure that the line connected to the modem is working and plugged
into the appropriate jack on the modem. Use the setup poster to make sure
that the connections have been made correctly.

If the modem shares the telephone line with another device, make sure
that the telephone line is not in use (for example, someone is on the
telephone, or another modem is in use).

Use the modem cable that came with your computer. Some telephone
cables do not meet required cable standards and may cause problems with
the modem connection.
