Very Computer

Now when I click on my dialup icon It shows dialing... then after a few
seconds it comes up with an error message that tells me the modem device did
not pick up the phone. I have a feeling I am really close to getting this
thing to work, I just can't get past this. Any help would be appreciated. By
the way, the Alcatel status lights show that it is synced up on the line. My
problems seem to be somewhere between the PC and the modem.

: I'm not sure if this is because your userid is incorrect or if your
service
: is not actually provisioned.  The later sounds more correct since that is
: not the standard error message for userid.  Even though use your userid
but
: include your ISP's domain. IE: for verizon it would have been
