Hi Jacques, Thank you for your response and information. I feel like seeing light at the end of the tunnel I followed your instruction and I am able to bring up minicom and issue AT commands to modem. Especially I am able to issue ATDT2141234567 to dial out Here are still my problems and questions: 1. What is slamr? I don't have it in my system, do I need it? 2. I am still unable to get caller ID to show up from the modem. This is what I did: AT#CID=1 Then called in from my cell phone and I do have caller ID service from the phone company, all my telephones in the house did show caller ID from my cell phone's call 3. How can I make my modem to do voice function? I remember the following command set the modem to voice mode: AT#CLS=8 or inquire what mode it is in AT#CLS? But they all returned "ERROR" May be I need a list of AT command for this modem driver!
