LF: //**// modem




Problem with FTERM and MODEM setup.

Have a:

        US Robotics World Port 
        9696 v.42 bis Fax / Data Modem

        Latest ver of FTERM
        GREY TI GRAPH LINK
        Null Adapter & Gender Changer

I hooked everything up (correctly), and typed "AT" it said "OK"

After trying many different commands, i arrived at the following:

The modem will take ANY COMMAND that starts with AT, and say OK

        ex:     ATKDFJDIHGH         = OK
                ATXXXXXXXXX         = OK
                AT<anything>        = OK


BUT THE MODEM WILL  N O T  DIAL   --  I type ATDT#######     and NOTHING


I hooked the modem up to my computer, went to PROCOMM, installed it as a 
new modem, and it worked fine  -- dialed and everything.

I copied the command string it used, and tried that on the calc - nothing

ANY IDEAS?

HERE ARE MINE:

I am thinking it is something with the modem's DTR setting.  Since it is
like a compact modem (that CAN use a 9V batt or Plug) it's DTR is funny.

I tried the DTR commands, still didn't help

The instruction book talks about PIN # 20 for signaling the modem for DTR
however this is for the BATTERY mode

There is only 4 lights on the modem

1) High speed
2) Low speed
3) Carrier Detect
4) Low Battery

        The carrier detect light is ALWAYS on when the plug is in, but with
        the battery, it is not....only when you have CD


THANK YOU VERY MUCH
