AutoAlert E-mail Notification System Software Restrictions
If you use software that uses a phone line:

The computer may not be able to disconnect the phone line due to
communication and server conditions.

Be sure to monitor the status of the software when running the AutoAlert E-
mail Notification System, and manually disconnect the phone line if you
notice a malfunction. Furthermore, when using the timer to start the
software, set the computer to shut down or enter system standby mode after a
certain length of time. This allows the computer to disconnect the phone line
if the computer fails to disconnect the line normally.
If you are using the timer to download e-mail automatically:

Set up your e-mail software to redial automatically if it does not connect the
first time.

Set the e-mail software to disconnect the phone line automatically when all
mail has been downloaded.
