Don . Any suggestions on things I should do to make sure the modem is set up properly. I am using all factory settings at this time, and it seems to respond to AT S- inputs properly. At one point when I was screwing aroud trying to figure the problem out I had the thing (I guess) set to "forced connect" cause as soon as it was finished dialing it would connect (to nothing, of course). If it seems I'm not completely sure what I'm doing, <g>… Gordon

Gordon, My first guess on your problem would be the modem itself might be defective. A simple test would be to set it to factory defaults completely. Next, try to dial yourself…the modem should dial and then report BUSY. Next, try to dial another modem…CompuServe would be ok. You don't have to log on…simply try to connect with one of the modems. Make sure you're calling the 1200 baud number, not the 2400 or 9600 baud numbers. If that works, then it's simply a matter of setting your modem and software to properly match each other. You'd need a manual for the modem and the instructions from your terminal program. Don

As it turns out, I can substitute another identical modem and give that s shot. If it works (the substitute), then I guess I will have narrowed it down.
