Hi I have a modem that is a USR 28.8 internal ISA board, I do not believe it is a winmodem because it works parcially in linux. I am doing commands like echo atdt 1234567 >/dev/ttyS3 and the command does not return me back to the prompt, it just sits there for a few seconds and then it finally dials that number for me.. wvdial can't detect my modem, and when I bring up minicom and watch the modem and call my number with my cellphone the word ring is not displayed on the screen.. everything is slow with my modem, I enter ata and it takes a second or so to answer, and ath and atdt take forever too.. Is this some common issue? Where should I look to begin finding out what is up with this modem. ----- Patrick Turnage E-mail: pturnage at tampabay.rr.com AOL Instant Messenger: kg4dqk Home Page: http://www.access-connect.com
