3. Click Connection tab and ensure that Data bits = 8, Parity = None, Stop bits = 1. In the Call preferences dialog box check that ‘Disconnect a call if idle...’ is on or off depending on what your needs are. (This may cause false ‘dropped carriers’ if you forget that you have this checked on)

4. Click OK

Ensure that ‘NetBEUI’ and ‘IPX/SPX Compatible’ are unticked, but 'TCP/IP' is ticked as shown below:
