i just acqiured a null modem adapter, and a male-male adapter, and attempted to try to use fterm to hook up to my isp, but i could not access the modem, i am uncertain why, but wonder if anyone can send me any tips, or point somewhere where i can try to see what the problem is, the lights are on on the modem, and all the adapters are working fine, anyway, thank you much, bb bryan egan
