Howard, In order to better diagnoze the situation, please send us ModemData.txt to list. If you have scanMidem and have run $ gunzip scanModem.gz $ chmod +x scanModem $ sudo ./scanModem and attach via email ModemData.txt. After this we can try to recommend some things to get it going or at least try to.
