Subj: REPLY TO MSG #5365 (MODEM PROBLEMS)
---- Here's some ideas to try on your external modem... Assuming you are using a straight-through cable, not null, and that the switches on the left hand of your Model 100 are set to DIR and ORIG, and the STAT setting in TELCOM is at 58N1E. Go into <f4>Term. At this point, you should be able to talk to your modem. Now, you've probably done all this. I just wanted to make sure these little things are cover since this is a conference message and others will come into this discussion in the middle. Start by issuing the command AT <enter>. You'll note that I've indicated ALL CAPS with the AT command. Some of the older modems only respond to ALL CAPS. You should get an OK in response. If not, you could be right ... you're not talking to your modem but at this point, there's too many variables to work with. You need to isolate the modem. Connect your modem to another computer, MS-DOS, Apple, etc. See if you can get it to work on a non-Model T. If not, then the modem may be suspect--either technically not functinoing or its dip switch or jumper settings are not set correctly. I'll stop here and let you play... -Rick-
