The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft NetMeeting version 2.0 for Windows 95
SUMMARY
This article describes how to establish a modem-to-modem connection with
NetMeeting 2.0.
MORE INFORMATION
To establish a modem-to-modem connection with NetMeeting, you must
configure NetMeeting to place and answer calls with a modem.
Placing Calls
To use NetMeeting with a modem to place a call, follow these steps:
- On the Tools menu, click Options.
- Click the Protocols tab.
- Click to select the Modem check box, and then click OK.
Answering Calls
To use NetMeeting with a modem to answer incoming calls, follow these
steps:
- On the Tools menu, click Options.
- Click the Protocols tab.
- Click to select the Modem check box, and then click Properties.
- Click to select the "Use modem to answer incoming calls" check box.
- Click OK twice.
- Quit and then restart NetMeeting for the changes to take effect.
NOTE: You may need to turn off other programs (such as Dial-Up Networking
Server or fax software) that are configured to answer incoming calls if
they interfere with NetMeeting's ability to answer incoming calls.
Notes
- When you use NetMeeting to dial, the computer answering the incoming
call must be configured to answer with NetMeeting. When you use Dial-Up
Networking to dial, the computer answering must be configured to answer
with Dial-Up Networking Server.
- When you are making a modem-to-modem connection between two computers
with NetMeeting, the Telephony Application Programming Interface (TAPI)
is used. TAPI does not have audio capabilities. To have audio
capabilities, you must use the Transmission Control Protocol/Internet
Protocol (TCP/IP) with Dial-Up Networking to establish the connection,
and then start NetMeeting.
