This error means that TinyTERM isn’t detecting a dial tone. When you get this error, first check to see if other Windows programs — HyperTerminal, a dial-up Internet connection, etc. — can use the same phone line.

If not, then check to make sure the telephone line is properly plugged into the modem and the wall. If it is, try plugging a telephone into the same line. That will tell you whether the problem is in the line or the modem itself.

If other Windows applications can use the modem, first try updating your modem driver. After updating the driver, if TinyTERM still can’t use the modem, there’s a compatibility problem. You’ll need to dial the modem manually. Instructions are in our knowledge base here.
