Subject: BS: Dial-up Connection problem
I've had to get a Home Computer for work (in Britain). To get Internet Access (required for work), I got a BT "pay as you go" Compact Disc. When I load it into the machine, and follow the "prompts", I do hear the squeaks and chirps as the ?modem dials the ?ISP, but then there's a message that "The remote computer disconnected". Now, rather than go to the BT "Helpline" which will charge me ten shillings a minute for maybe a half-hour call, does anyone know what's a likely cause of this problem, so I can try to sort it out myself? I can find out details of Computer from the machine itself, I'm sure.
