No Response from Modem
If your modem doesn't dial out and connect correctly (you should hear a ringing tone, the Penn State modem answers, presents the typical modem "squawk/squeal" and then it should quit) to a campus modem, these are normally the causes:

*The modem may be bad.
*Incorrectly wired modem cable - if this is the first time you've used the cable.
*Check that the modem is plugged in, and if necessary, turn the modem off and then turn it back on.
*Wrong modem selected in the connectoid modem properties sheet.

You Have Been Disconnected From the Computer You've Dialed To
Double-click the connection to try again. If you successfully dial out and connect, but receive the error message, it means that you supplied an incorrect USERID or PASSWORD in the connectoid. The most likely problem is that you have the [Caps Lock] key on - or - you misspelled your UserID or password. It also may be a problem with your PSU Access UserID. Try again very carefully. If you are still unsuccessful, contact your local Help Desk to verify your PSU Access Account.
