Hi,

1. Please make sure that the computer is dialing the access number properly. Sometimes, your access number is dialed without an area code or with an area code.

2. If you are using *70 to block call waiting, try connecting without the *70. Sometimes this can cause busy signals.

3. There are many possible causes for busy signals. If too many people are trying to use the same access number at the same time, you may encounter a slow busy signal. If the busy signal is faster, it indicates a problem with your connection to the access number.

Best of Luck.

Error 676 : The line is busy appear if you are using Outlook Express or Dialup Networking. Error 676 even appear if the line is not busy. Try to connect using IE or any other browser. And then try to connect to Outlook express.
