Configuring your modem
Before you can start using your internal modem, or each time you use your modem while travelling, make
sure that the country of the active location defined in the
Phone and Modem Options
dialog box matches
the country you are dialling from.
You may notice a
Country Selector
tab under your current modem driver options. As the
