Registration Problems
=====================

We've found that some of our customers are having difficulty with the
registration process due to modem problems.  Therefore, we've compiled
the following checklist of things to do on the rare occasion that such
problems are encountered.

Try the three following sets of procedures in order; one of them should
work.  If none of them do, please call NETCOM Technical Support at
(408) 983-1510.  We are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

A.	Check Settings
-- 	--------------

1)  Turn your modem off, then on again.

2)  Make sure your modem is plugged into a working phone line.

3)  In the NetCruiser Modem Setup dialog box, choose Hayes Accura from
    the modem list.

    To access this dialog box, click on the Modem Settings button 
    in the Phone Number dialog box.  The Phone Number dialog box
    is the fourth dialog box you see during the registration process.

4)  In the NetCruiser Modem Setup dialog box, set the modem speed to
    19,200 baud.

5)  Attempt to register.

B.	Other Programs
--	--------------

1)  Make sure you don't have any other communications programs running
    in the background.  The best way to do this, if you're not sure,
    is simply to start up Windows Terminal and type "AT"; if "OK" is
    displayed, no other communications programs are running.
    
    Note that fax programs and voicemail cards count as communications
    programs.

2)  Disable any such communications programs.

3)  Attempt to register.

C.	System Configuration
--	--------------------

1)  Make sure you're using a hardware handshaking cable.

2)  Find the line in your system.ini file that begins:
        comm.drv= 

    Change it to read:

        comm.drv=comm.drv

    if it does not already.

3)  Exit Windows, reboot your computer and modem, and enter NetCruiser
    immediately after restarting Windows.

4)  Attempt to register.

More Information
================

If your problems continue, you may want to set the modem speed in 
NetCruiser to 2400 baud, and see if you can register at that speed.
If so, you almost certainly need to review your modem settings; make
sure you've selected the proper modem type in NetCruiser.  If you 
cannot find your modem in the list of supported modems, Hayes Accura
often works.  Failing that, you may need to call your modem vendor 
to get the proper initialization string.
