Just to puntualize... when I made these commands the modem was plugged-in and switched on. So, theoretically speaking, the PC should have "seen" it. I can tell you something more: the device is for sure "working", as when I switch the modem on, the computer itself switches authomatically on... it is curious, but it is anyway a confirmation that the serial port is working and, in any way, receives the modem signals... Thank you again for an help...
