Modem dropping line

Hi everyone,

If a modem fails to drop the line when the line is INactive, and all the settings have been checked is the problem likely caused by a faulty modem?

Any thoughts?

That is usually a software setting. The modem properties are not set to hang up upon connection termination. Go to control panel, Modems, Dialing properties and set it to auto disconnect after use or event (however it's worded). I borrowed this from a tech-tip my company has available to me. Hope it is useful.
