NOTE To let other computers connect to your computer by
modem, you must change the security setup established
during installation. Remember that passwords are case-
sensitive.
Disable call waiting and answering machines
Ensure that the call waiting feature is disabled on the tele-
phone systems at both ends of the connection. Call waiting
and answering machines can interfere with modem connec-
tions when incoming calls are detected.
Use Dialing Properties to simplify the dialing process.
In the Telephone Number box, type the number EXACTLY
as it is to be dialed, including numbers dialed to get an out-
side line, area codes, country codes, and a “1” when dialing
long distance.
Disable other programs that use COM ports while run-
ning LapLink
You may experience problems if you use LapLink to connect
by modem while running any other programs that monitor
serial (COM) ports; modem and fax programs as well as
PDA software, typically monitor serial ports for incoming
calls or faxes and may cause a modem to disconnect unex-
pectedly. Disable such programs while using LapLink.
