Selecting a Country-Specific Modem
Configuration
First, determine which type of modem is installed in your computer. To do so,
select StartÅSettingsÅControl PanelÅModem. If the label "3Com" is at the
end of the modem name, use the instructions for internal modems by 3Com
below. If that label is not there, use the instructions for all other internal
modems below.
■ 3Com internal modems—select StartÅProgramsÅCompaq internal
modemÅWorldPortÅGeneral tab, then select the country in which you
will be using the modem.
■ All other internal modems—select StartÅSettingsÅControl
PanelÅModemÅDialing Properties, then select the country where you
will be using the modem.
Travel Connection Checklist
If you experience connection problems while using the modem outside your
home country, the following suggestions may help.
■ Check the telephone line type—The modem requires an analog, not a
digital, telephone line. A telephone line described as a data line, fax
machine line, modem line, or standard telephone line is probably an
analog line.
■ Check for pulse or tone dialing—Dial a few digits on the telephone
and listen for clicks (pulses) or tones. Then make sure your
communication software is set to the corresponding dialing mode (pulse
or tone).
■ Check the telephone number you are dialing and the response of the
remote modem—Dial the telephone number on the telephone, wait for
the remote modem to answer, then hang up.
