Do you have call waiting on your computer’s phone
line? |
|
|
|
If so, you need to disable call waiting
each time your computer dials the
Internet.
This can be accomplished by adding the disable code to the
beginning of the number your computer
dials. The
call waiting disable
code is usually *70.
Use a telephone connected to the same
phone line your computer is hooked
to and dial *70
You should hear a “stutter” in the dial tone. If so, you
have the correct disable code. If you hear an error message, please contact
your telephone service provider and ask
for instruction to Disable Call
Waiting Per Call. Add this new disable code given to the
beginning of
your local Internet number.
The local Internet number your computer
dials should look like:
*70,872-5990
(note
that the star (*) and comma (,) are required!) |
