Common dialup error messages

 "691 - Access denied / Invalid username or password"

This error is usually due to a mistyped username or password.  You should make sure your username contains the entire string (e.g. user@netdot.com), and retype the password before continuing.

"678 - Remote computer did not respond"

This error can occur for a number of reasons, but is usually due to the dial-up phone number you are using not working for your area.  Try a different number.

"633 - Modem port already in use"

Restart your computer.  Sometimes Windows fails to free up the modem after it disconnects.
