when you try to perform a communications operation.
The “Select the Number to Call” dialog box will appear.

• To Hang Up a call, select “Hangup Modem” from the Communications Menu in the main Window.
A message will ask you to confirm that you want to hang up.
Application tip: If you leave a live monitor window open, the application will never hang up on its own because the
live monitor is a communications operation. Don't leave a live monitor window open over a long-distance call, it won’t
hang up automatically.
