bodiddle Tl Posts: 2 USA | Posted - 8/13/2006 7:37:37 AM I get error 680 when trying to connect. The device manager says modem is working properly - I uninstalled and reinstalled it anyway and that did not work. I changed settings and that did not work so changed them back. I can hook up a regular phone to the back of my computer and get a dial tone but I can't seem to get the computer to recognize it. Does anyone have any ideas? Do I need a new modem? Please help........ |
gordon1130 Tl Posts: 6 USA | Posted - 8/14/2006 7:13:12 AM Some inexpensive modems use electricity from the phone line to power part of the modem. I live in a rural area and have experienced a no dial tone problem like you simply because my phone line voltage is not sufficient. One way around it I found was to pick up the telephone connected to the modem, once I heard dial tone I could then dial out on the modem and hang up the phone. You may need to replace your modem. I've had the best experience with Agere Soft Modems. |
