Configuring a host modem connection
Symantec pcAnywhere supports modem-to-modem connections using a modem
that supports the Microsoft Telephony API (TAPI). If a modem is installed and
properly configured on your computer, pcAnywhere automatically detects it and
adds it to the connection device list.
Symantec pcAnywhere requires a user name and password for all host sessions.
To connect, the remote user must know the user name and password as well as
the phone number of the host modem.
If a modem is installed and configured properly on the operating system, host
users can customize the dial-up properties and specify on what ring to answer an
incoming call. By default, pcAnywhere answers on the third ring to support
modems that use call waiting. Change this setting only if you are experiencing
problems with your modem connection. Lower the number of rings only if your
modem does not have call waiting.
