Communication ISDN & Analog Modems

If it's ringing and not answering, then there's something not set right on the remote PC to auto answer after so many rings. PCAnywhere will probobly have some setting that'll override the windows defaults, so you'll want to look there.

The other side is, once you get the remote side to answer, you'll discover you'll need an analog modem because your IDSN isn't going to communicate at all with the modem.

Did you visit Symantec web site to check pcANYWHERE configuration on both sides? Here is the link, choose product pcANYWHERE version 10 and fing article How to use pcANYWHERE ...

Good luck

ringing? ok let me make certain that i understand you correctly... are you trying to use the isdn modem to call the phone number of the line connected to the other computer??? not going to work that way. in order to connect an isdn with an analog modem you would need to do the following:
1) connect both computers to the internet.
2) connect from computer to computer thru ip address or network conection
the only way for modems to be used would be for both modems to be analog not isdn. for isdn the only way to connect is over the internet
good luck!

ISDN is a digital line; an analog modem cannot be made to connect to it. If you have an analog modem on the local PC, use it to dial into the remote machine. To connect via the Internet, both machines will have to be manually connected, one by ISDN, the other by dialup. Since most ISPs assign automatic IPs to dialup connections, someone at that end will have to determine the current IP after connecting (winipcfg for win9x, ipconfig for NT and above, from the command prompt), and call you to let you know what it is.

Possible reasons:

Incorrect phone number

Additional numbers may be needed in the dialup phone number, e.g.: "9" for an external line, or other numbers for an area or country code. Key in the prefix on the mysingtel dialer.

Check that the modem is on.

Check that the cables are in working condition.

Check that the phone line is working. To check: connect the phone-line to a telephone and make an outgoing call.

Check that the telephone line is plugged into the back of the modem (labeled LINE). If it is plugged into PHONE, simply plug it to LINE.

If the modem, cable and phone line connections are in working order, it may be that the signal level of your phone line may be too low for your modem to detect.
If there is still no dial tone, there may be conflicts caused by other devices. Modems are very sensitive equipment. Do not use call-waiting, answering machines, fax machines, automated routers and message systems on the same line.

Contact your modem vendor for further assistance

The two modems cannot communicate because ISDN is digital and the other is analogue. To make the connection you need both modems to be using either analogue or digital.
