It's possible the cable is miswired or malfunctioning ... that might prevent the computer from seeing the information the modem returns. It's more probable the modem is not set to echo its results back. Try typing ATE1V1&W to the modem. That might help force it to echo results back. What program are you using to contact the modem? It's possible the program isn't set to display results from the modem back. -- Sean Kelly NOAA Forecast Systems Laboratory kelly@fsl.noaa.gov Boulder Colorado USA http://www-sdd.fsl.noaa.gov/~kelly/
