Dial Not Available in Windows Terminal (76824)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows 3.0
- Microsoft Windows 3.0a
- Microsoft Windows 3.1
- Microsoft Windows 3.11
This article was previously published under Q76824 SUMMARY
The Dial option may be unavailable in the Phone menu of Windows Terminal if
you have Carrier Detect selected in the Communications dialog box under the
Settings menu.
Carrier Detect uses the modem signal to detect a carrier signal. When
Carrier Detect is selected, Terminal uses the carrier detect signal to
determine whether the modem is online. When Carrier Detect is off, Terminal
looks at the modem response string to determine if it is connected.
If your modem still isn't connecting after correctly setting the other
options, clear the Carrier Detect check box to use Terminal's method
and try connecting again.
