- Excessive Line Current Sensed.
- See Owner's Manual for details.

- Disconnect your telephone cable immediately! This means the modem is connected

- analog modem or fax line to use.

I wouldn't be surprised if others had similar messages.

I have an anolog connection. Good idea though. I will disconnect my
phone line and see if I continue to get a beep. Is there a software
fix for this or how do I fix the modem card?
