How can I call and disconnect from a IBM® ® Domino® server?
One of the ways you can connect to an IBM® Domino® server is over a dialup (phone line) modem through a network dialup connection. IBM Notes® can directly dial the server, or you can use a (human) operator to place the call.

About this task

Note: Do not use the Notes Direct Dialup connection type. If you are using a Home (Notes Direct Dialup) location for RAS, edit it and change its connection type to Network Dialup. The X.PC modem protocol is not supported.

This topic describes how to call a server, how to call a server using an operator, and how to disconnect from a server.
