MS-DOS

= SUMMARY =

When trying to connect with a modem to a computer that takes a very long time to respond, it is possible that Works will think that no connection is going to be made and will give the message “No carrier”.

It is still possible to obtain a connection by pressing the BACKSPACE key several times while waiting for a connection, but before the error message appears.

Pressing the BACKSPACE key has no observable effect during this time, but it will extend the amount of time that Works is willing to wait for a connection.
