Check the port settings to make sure the hardware and software
are referring to the same COM port (look in Device Manager
under Modems for the built-in modem).
Check the communications parameters (baud rate, parity, data
length and stop bits) specified in the communications program. It
should be set up to transmit at 300, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600,
14400, 28800, 33600 bps (bits per second) or higher. Refer to the
program’s documentation and the modem manual for information
on how to change these settings.
The modem is on, set up properly and still will not transmit
or receive data.
Make sure the line has a dial tone. Connect a telephone handset to
the line to check this.
The other system may be busy or off line. Try making a test
transmission to someone else.

Make sure you are prepared.
Save your work frequently.
You can never predict when your computer will lock, forcing you
to close a program and lose unsaved changes. Many software
programs build in an automatic backup, but you should not rely
solely on this feature. Save your work! See
for instructions.
