Ok, so I'm following up my own post !
The modem will talk, there's nothing wrong with parity etc on eiter end.
The problem is the line speed. There are 3 settings on my modem:
1) fixed line/serial speed - this works, but only at connection speed
2) variable line/serial speed - can't figure out what the serial speed is!
3) both... variable what ARQ is enabled - as above
in its infinite wisdom, the modem is choosing a serial speed... it's a pity
it won't tell me what it is !
anyone any suggestions ? Don't all rush at once ! ;)
