- NTL Broadband and POTS Modem?
- Posted by Barry Higginbottom on July 18th, 2003
Hi
A friend of mine has just had NTL Broadband (150k?) installed. He is not at
all computer savvy but I have been able to glean that he has a new modem
connected to one of his USB ports. Even though he has NTL cable TV they have
installed a new line for him seperate to his cable TV and cable phone
connection. He lives in the Bicester area.
The broadband connection is working great and I have talked him through
setting up his other email accounts to connect via broadband. (NTL support
told him it couldn't be done, sigh)
He has, until now, used a built in modem on his HP computer for
sending/receiving faxes and sending SMS messages.
Since broadband was installed the other day he can't access his modem. He
can't exactly remember the error message but its along the lines of a 'TAPI
error, device in use'
Can broadband and an ordinary modem co-exist?
If so, what's the secret?
TIA
Barry

150k really isn't broadband

Why?
It's about NTL broadband and I live in the UK. We're not all blessed with in
depth knowledge and sometimes have to ask 'dumb' questions.
CB, following your first post (thanks) how does one temporarily 'disconnect'
the service?
TIA

Broadband and normal modems can co-exist.
Assuming he has some flavour of Windoze, a search of the MS Knowledge base
should reveal causes of this behavior

I'd say his comment was highly relevant as this is supposed to be
*broadband* discussion group and 150k is clearly *not* broadband !!
