 My computer says the line is busy. What does that mean?
This means that all the modems are taken at that time. You should wait and try again in about 15 minutes.
 My computer says that the Configurations of the Dialup Adapter are not correct. What do I do?
Don't dispair! This is a glitch in the program. Simply quit out of the dialup connection, and doubleclick on the icon again. This will usually solve the problem.
 My computer says there is no dialtone. Help!
Make sure that your room phone is hung up and that the cables are attatched properly.
 The computer that I am dialing is not answering. What do I do?
Try the connection again. Sometimes the servers are backed up or busy and will not accept the connection right away.
