What You Need

• LineTest has only two requirements:
• Any manufacturer's V.34 modem, installed and connected to a phone line
• Any terminal application (such as Win95's HyperTerminal, RapidComm, QuickLink II or MacComCenter)

Dialing Into LineTest

• First, open a "terminal window" in your communications software. For detailed instructions, consult your software's documentation.
• Dial this number:  1-847-262-6000 (this is a toll call)
• Most communications programs offer the ability to dial from a "phone book." Alternately, you may send the following command to your modem:
• ATDT1-888-877-9248
• You'll be connected to the LineTest system, and asked if your system support graphics. Press the 'Enter' key to proceed.
• You'll then be prompted for your name. Type in:
• Line Test
• The LineTest system will perform a series of diagnostics on your connection, and will inform you of its conclusion.
• This Connection Supports 56k Technology!
  Congratulations - you're in good company. Get ready to step up to high-speed downloads from the Internet!
• Since line conditions can change from call to call, we recommend that you make several calls to LineTest to ensure an accurate diagnosis. If you have multiple phone lines available for use, we recommend that you try calling from each line.
• If multiple calls indicate that your line won't support 56k, keep in mind that telephone network configurations can change, so your chances of making high-speed connections may improve over time.
• Important Note
  We've taken great care to ensure that LineTest reports accurate results.
  However, due to the complexity of the diagnostics LineTest performs, we can't guarantee 100% accuracy. We'll improve and enhance LineTest as your feedback rolls in.
