General Properties
3. Let’s look
at the Modem Properties. Starting from left to right, the first tab
provides General information. The General page identifies what
kind of modem in in the computer and indicates in that the device is
working properly.
Who said that? When folks are
troubleshooting their sound cards, they often report that they can
hear the squeaks and beeps as the modem connects to the Internet.
This is not a true test of the sound system: modems have their own
speakers. These speakers are not necessarily connected to the
computer’s multimedia hardware.
