Hi folks,
Just wondering has anyone ever come across this problem with modems. Normally I would use any cable lying around i.e. telephone(4 wires) or modem(2 wires) for connecting my computer's 56K modem to the telephone wall socket with out any problems. However today I was working on a machine that would only connect via a modem cable. They were trying to connect via a telephone extension lead.
Thanks in advance,
Mike.
