Introduction
This chapter covers common problems you may have with your
modem and how to solve them. Your MultiModemZPX-PCI was
thoroughly tested at the factory before it was shipped. If you are unable
to make a successful connection or if you experience data loss or
garbled characters during your connection, it is possible that the
modem is defective. However, it is more likely that the source of your
problem lies elsewhere. Begin with the checklist (below) to make sure
all hardware is connected properly. Then review the common problems
for recommendations on what to change.
