You can also call your telephone service and have your telephone line checked for
noise or low line levels.
■ Try connecting with the modem at a lower connection speed. If reducing the
connection speed lets you connect, contact your telephone service. The telephone line
may be too noisy.
■ Try another telephone line (either a different telephone number in your business or
a telephone line at a different location). If you can connect on this line, call your
telephone service.
Your 56K modem does not connect at 56K
Current FCC regulations restrict actual data transfer rates over public telephone lines to
53K. Other factors, such as line noise, telephone service provider equipment, or ISP
limitations, may lower the speed even further.
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.
The modem is not recognized by your server
■ 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).

■ Reinstall the modem device driver. For instructions, see “Using your System
Companion CD” on page 20 .
