These screen shots and instructions will help walk you through the 56k line test which is designed to determine if your phone lines are 56k compatible before you buy a 56k modem or sign up for the 56k service. The line test is a independent service and is the exclusive property of U.S. Robotics™. We recommend that you complete the test several times over a period of several days, as this will give you the most accurate report. Please note: Running this line test will result in a long-distance charge on your phone bill, as the line test telephone number is not a local call. If you have any questions about the 56k line test please Lisco or write to support@lisco.com |
