to dial out using either Microsoft’s Dial-Up Networking program or an appli-
cation’s built-in dialer.
To use the modem in Single User Mode, select the network modem’s name
from the modem list within an application’s built-in dialer. If the application
uses COM port numbers instead of names to identify a modem, direct the
application to use the virtual modem port number associated with the network
modem on that computer.
Note that if you are using a home answering machine software program with
the shared network modem, the Symphony Conductor will recognize that the
modem is in auto answer mode and not actually in use. Therefore, the Sym-
phony Conductor will allow you to use the modem even though it is set to auto
answer mode.
When one computer is using the modem in Single User Mode, the Symphony

Note to America Online and CompuServe 2000 Customers
If you are an America Online (AOL) or CompuServe 2000 customer, you must
use the shared modem in Single User Mode. AOL and CompuServe 2000 use
a proprietary protocol that is incompatible with Symphony’s Multi-User Inter-
net Sharing Mode. AOL and CompuServe 2000 users may still access the
Internet from any network computer in Single User Mode, but multiple net-
work computers will not have Internet access at the same time.
