7) Click 'OK' twice to get back to the 'Modem' screen, then click on the 'Dialing Options' button and verify that it is setup as shown in Figure #6. Insert your correct area code in the 'Area code' box and '1' in the 'For long distance' box. There also is an option to disable call-waiting. This restricts an incoming call from disrupting a FAX or a file download. The code for this is available from your local telephone company. It is usually something like '*70'.
