A5: The connection of the phone line might be loose. Make sure the phone cord is connected at the phone jack of the modem to a phone wall jack. If that connection is not loose, then check the software manual to see what DTR operations are required. Make sure that your software has auto answer enabled and for modems with DIP switches, set the DIP switch to 5, that is, up (off).
