GUIDELINES FOR MODEM PREPARATION YOUR MODEM HAS THE ABILITY TO ADJUST ITS IMPEDANCE TO MATCH YOUR LOCAL PHONE LINE. Enter 'terminal' mode. Type AT\E1 and press the [enter] key. This tells your modem to adjust to your phone line when you make your next V.32bis call. Make the V.32bis call immediately after entering AT\E1. You may not connect on the first try, as the modem will be making this adjustment. However your modem will now be adjusted to the phone line, and this step will not have to be repeated unless you change phone lines.
