900c modem

I can't seem to get my modem to dial. It will dial the #70 to disable call waiting but, it never dials the isp number.

Help! TIA

Not sure how others do it, but I like simplicity and a single window to put my numbers in. So here is what I do:

1. I go to the control panel and click on the dialing icon
2. Then in the local area code window I erase the number and do the same thing in the country/region code window.
3. I then click on the dialing patterns and enter the letter G in all 3 windows (local/long distance/international)

Now go to the network and dialup connections icon and click on it and subsequently "Make a new connection"

1. Name you new connection something that makes sense, like local dialup isp or something.... and thenclick next
2. Next window select internal modem and then click on the configure button and set the baud rate to 57K. Not sure this is necessary, but I do it anyway. Click ok and then click next
3. Next window...ignore country/region code window area code window.
4. Just enter any numbers you want in the phone number window, such as #70,16163456789

The comma will insert a small 3 second pause if your phone requires one. Otherwise leave it out.... This is also good for phones that require a special number to dial out as is often the case at work...like the number 9. To dial locally I would enter 9,123-4567.

Now that you have saved your connection, click on it and then click on the connect button and all should be well. If you are checking email on you ISPs site, you may want to enter your user name and password in windows when asked.

Thanks Rich! It was the call waiting disable, its different from my work line.
Using dialup right now. No high speed at my Kentucky home, too rural.
