Mike I am using an A3000 with the prefs set as you advised. The software is Platinum_Works Terminal with 1200 7E1 VT100. The modem is a Commodore Amiga RS1200. The modems are pretty old. I bought them mebbe 5 years ago and they have been on a variety of upgrade models and always worked well til I hooked them up to the A3000. I have two identical modems and they both have the same problem. And MSS P_W tech support isn't any help. They say they don't have an A3000 to test on. They both ATD ok, but when the carrier comes back from CS, they won't respond..sometimes..other times I can get a connection<?>. Makin me nuts<ARGGH>. gn

Mike I learned (or re-learned) something the other day when I was setting up a printer for a co-worker. I hooked the printer up to her A-2000 while it was running, and the computer couldn't find the printer to output. So I rebooted the A2000 with the printer connected and everything worked as it is supposed to. Well, just now, this A3000 would not answer the CS carrier. I tried different terminal software and the computer still would not answer the CS carrier. So I thought, mebbe the A3000 is booting so fast the modem isn't fully powered when it comes up, and it isn't recognizing the serial port connection. So I turned the CPU off and back on and shazam- it worked. I'll have to test that theory a few more times before I convince myself that's the case. My souped up A2000 at home is real slow booting, but this A3000 snaps yer neck when it comes up. Could be a clue?? gn
