To change the dial prefix in Windows Terminal,
select Settings, Modem Commands. To change it
in Windows 95 or 98 HyperTerminal, select Call,
Connect from the menu bar, click Dialing

• If the modem reports NO ANSWER, the other
system has failed to go off-hook, or you might have
dialed a wrong number. Check the number.
• If the modem reports NO CARRIER, the phone
was answered at the other end, but no connection
was made. You might have dialed a wrong number,
and a person answered instead of a computer, or
you might have dialed the correct number but the
other computer or software was turned off or
faulty. Check the number and try again, or try
calling another system to make sure your modem
is working. Also, try calling the number on your
telephone. If you hear harsh sounds, then another
modem is answering the call, and the modems
may be having problems negotiating because of
modem incompatibilities or line noise. Try
connecting at a lower speed.
