EMac modem does not release phone line

I have an original eMac. The modem is capabale of receiving and sending faxing. However, occasionally it does not "release" the phone line causing any incoming fax to get a busy signal and if you try to dial the phone number you also get a busy signal. Unplugging the phone line from the modem port resolves the issue as does restarting.
What can be done to fix this issue besides getting a new modem.
Thanks!

I recall having similar problems with my home pre-broadband dial-up account under 10.1.5. That was blamed on the computer modem and the ISP modems implementing different versions of the same modem protocol (which certainly doesn't say mush for the 'standard' part of the v.92 protocol). That I thought was fixed in later versions of OS X, but you may still want to contact your ISP to ask them if they're aware of other Mac dial-up users with the same problem and if they can suggest any modem commands to add to your modem command strings. You can ask them to check on their end to see if they're receiving the line release command from your modem when you attempt to hang up.
Since most Mac-related questions to ISP support seem to garner a response of "huh?", your other option would be to try dropping the modem protocol from v.92 to v.90 (and if necessary even lower) to see if those protocols are more compatible with your ISP's modem banks.

    I have BT Infinity at home with the BT modem connected to the phone line and then to a BThub which delivers the wif signal. I have purchased an airport extreme to improve wi fi strength if how do I connect up to hub it states connect modem to WAN on back of Airport Extreme.
    Instructions do not mention connection to BT Hub and the BT modem has only one output which you dicsonnect from Hub and connect to airport extreme leaving. Once you do this Hub has no signal.
    How do I rectify
    Paul

    you can also set up the Airport extreme to extend the wireless by hitting the wireless tab in the airport menu then click the drop down menu to select extend
    Apple's "extend" function is a proprietary setting that was designed to only work with other Apple routers.
    It would be extremely unlikely that this setting would work with a BT product, or any other manufacturer's product for that matter.
    But, I haven't tested this with a BT product...and I suppose anything is possible.
    Still, I would be extremely surprised if this worked.
    The AirPort Extreme might "join" the BT network if you try this......but the AirPort does not provide any additional wireless signal coverage when it "joins" a wireless network. In fact, it really does nothing when it "joins" a network except enable the USB port.

  • Equium A60-191: Modem issue - Only analog phone lines are supported

    My Equium A60 was powered up when lightning struck nearby and caused the electricity supply to go off and back on.
    The OS is XP Home and my ISP is AOL. When I try to access the Net by DUN, I receive the repeated error message:
    "Connected phone line is not compatible with this modem. Only analog phone lines are supported."
    My desktop computer, which also uses AOL, still connects to the same phone line without any problem.
    I have rebooted the A60 several times; changed and tried out 2 phone connnection cables - both work; the phone line works fine; I have reinstalled the driver provided on this site; removed the tick from the box that says to wait for the dial phone; checked out that the modem is in working and on the Device Manager list. All of this is to no avail.
    Troubleshooter is suggesting that COM 3 is not enabled. I cannot see COM 3 listed in Device Manager, under Ports.
    I have tried Google and ASK with the error message. There are not many posts and it appears that the Toshiba modem is in fact an Agere. This makes seems to be the subject of some of the complaints.
    Finally I have uninstalled the driver/modem, AOL and one other DUN connection. I rebooted and went through the process of installing "New Hardware" and AOL. Whilst the modem is enabled and allegedly working... I am still unable to connect to the Net. I reinstalled an additional 'pay as you go' ISP. When I try to dial out on that it generates the error 680. It does this even when the box is unchecked, for wait for a dial tone.
    I would be most grateful if anybody could help. I have run out of ideas.
    Many thanks.

    Hi
    You are right, the modem support the Agere Modem Chip.
    You will not find the COM3 in the device manager because the modem uses not real com port. Its a virtual com port.
    I think you should start the diagnostic tool test and check if the Modem has no malfunction.
    Additional you should delete the connection in the Region Select Utility and after new reboot create a new one.
    I found also the useful Microsoft article about the Troubleshooting network and dial-up connections.
    http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/trouble_all.mspx?mfr=true
    and here you will find info about the DUNS error 680:

    Hi
    Check whether the Agreement Open Target value .
    If the target quantity was completed . so system will not create the Schedule lines for the material
    2. If you mainatian the open period in the smk.
    so system will create the planned order instead of schedule agreement. check

  • Item does not match schdule line ( program error ) message no . V1427

    *Item does not match schdule line ( program error ) message no . V1427 .* This is the message I am getting when I am trying to display a quotation through VA23 . From here system exits the transaction .
      As per my observation , when I compared VBAP and VBEP tables, there are 2 items in VBEP table with schedule lines but the same items are not present in VBAP table.   User says he tried to delete these items because there is no quanity , Inspite of that these items appear in VBEP table .
    The document is a reservation document where in schedule line category does TOR and availability check.
    I checked various related notes - 442831 , 401463 , 389687  etc .  These are quite old notes and I am in release ECC 5.0 .
    What is the best way as this doc has nearly 30 items and nearly all of them have quanity confirmed .
         Please provide your valuble inputs ...
    Regards
    Raghav..

    Nitin,
    Below are the steps to check
    Transaction SE18
    Definition name: BADI_SD_SALES
    Menu: Implementation -> Overview
    double-click on implementation: IM_CORE_CHECK
    Now you will get an overview on the methods.
    check whether implementation IM_CORE_CHECK is active or not.
    If not Press the change button and activate
    looking at the your system pack level this should be active. If it is active then the inconsistency must be modified directly at database level through Z report.

    Dear Expert.
    Greetings!
    We are currently facing with this error (V1 427 item does not match schedule line (program error) in sap), when we open the sales order(VA02/03).
    The error  is occurring due  inconsistency on the database tables, some Item is in  table VBEP, but it is missing from table VBAP.  This is what is causing the error message.
    I checked various related notes - 442831 , 401463 , 389687  etc .  These are quite old notes and I am in release ECC 6.0 .
    Report SD_CONSISTENT_CHECK_EXT and SD_CONSISTENT_CHECK are already available.

    Hi
    Service Tax credit cannot be utilized unless the Vendor Invoice is Paid. This is the reason till the payment is done the service tax Amount will be accumulated in deferred tax account and once the invoice is paid the balance in deferred tax is need to be transferred  to respective Service Tax , Educational Cess and higher Education Cess account. There can be various business scenarios for full and Partial Payment to facilitates the transfer of such deferred balance to respective account SAP has come up with some new standard program RFUMSV50 instead of RFUMSV25. To overcome the limitation of this program i.e. not able to take care of more than one tax line item, below the solution is provided with scenarios “Full Payment is made to Vendor Invoice”. 
    hope this is help ful

  • Photoshop does not release memory after closing document.

    When I close a large document Photoshop does not release the memory. If I open another document the program is slow and not resposive. If I close out of Photoshop and restart it then load the other document it is quick and responsive again.

    A bit late to the party here but this issue is still live and I can't find anything else on the forum similar to it (apologies if there is).
    Photoshop does not seem to re-use memory it just keep allocating new right up to the limit before the prog crashes (same applies to Fireworks) so any batch/script processing of more than a handful of files is impossible.
    I am Photoshop via Creative Cloud (so I am always updated to your latest release), Windows 7 64k with 8Mb memory and am using Norton Intenet Security 20.3.1.22 which is updated daily.

  • Items does not match schedule line

    Item does not match schedule line (program error) - message V1427 getting while accessing the Sales Order via VA02/VA03.
    While we see in table VBAP we can see all the line items except the Item number 10 for the order. However, in the table VBEP, we see 5 line items for the Sales Order.
    It is not allowing us to enter the Sales Order. Kindly help.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hello,
    we've got the same problem.
    Because of some changes in an SD-Userexit the problems have been generated.
    In our case the SAP-notes can't help to solve the problem with VBAP/VBEP.
    I wrote an report which check and delete the excessive positions of both tables.
    Hope it helps.

  • JInternalFrame is closed, but does not release the memory

    Hi,
    I have problem with using of JInternalFrame.
    I create a new internal frame, and close it."setClosed(true);dispose();"
    The frame does not release the memory (after gc the allocated memory is the same)
    Before close I removed all listeners, and closed all reference to other object. (I think so :-) )
    Do You have any idees?
    regards

    Hi,
    I think u will have to release all the associated used objects. or you can also call the finalize() method in order to release the memory.

  • Clicked Touchpad does not release.

    With lent words from another thread: “Yesterday my touchpad would suddenly act as if I was holding it down, thus dragging stuff around the screen.”
    First, a click does not release anymore.
    Second I used a mouse and read, that updating the SL may repair this.
    Third I updated.
    Then: Nor the pad worked, nor the mouse are working.
    What to do, please? Re-installing?

    Sorry, I don't understand. You cannot boot from anything except the BT Wacom tablet, but the MBP will work fine with that?
    Some keyboard/trackpad issues are caused by the ribbon cable between the battery and the inside of the the battery compartment. Try removing the battery and booting with just the power cord attached, and see if the keyboard/trackpad work this way.

  • Faxing - Modem Does Not Detect Dial Tone

    Hello Everyone,
    I suddenly have a need to send and receive a Fax. I have a phone line plugged into the modem port on my G4 and on trying to send a text fax, not much happens. Error message to the effect that the modem is not detecting a dial tone. Same cable that works fine on the phone itself.
    Can someone either help with an answer or direct me to a page with more detailed instructions than the "Help" file is providing?
    John

    I have the same problem. I thought I would begin to use my several years old Powerbook to send a simple fax. As it is I have to use my old G3 to fax. Even with Faxstf pro on I still can't get it to work. Fax STF says that the modem is only set to receive and I just cannot change it in the settings. I've trashed the preferences and the program. I am at a loss after having spent a day trying to figure this out. I am on a dedicated phone line that works just fine. I would really like to just simply fax from my powerbook G4. The modem is as follows:
    Modem Model: LastDash
    Interface Type: USB
    Modulation: V.92
    SKU Name: UCJ
    Hardware Version: 4.0
    Firmware Version: APPLE VERSION 2.6.6
    Driver: InternalUSBModem.kext (v2.6.6)
