SUMMARY
=======

When you are using an ISDN adapter and Dial-Up Networking, you may encounter
error messages stating that the "modem" is not responding or the "modem" is not
configured properly. These messages are incorrect, because an ISDN adapter is
not actually a modem (modulator/demodulator). An ISDN adapter uses an
all-digital signal and does not need to modulate or demodulate the signal.

This behavior occurs because the Dial-Up Networking tool was not written with
ISDN devices in mind. Therefore, error messages make references to a "modem"
instead of the ISDN device.
