[lug] config modem w/ mandrake7.2

[Ferdinand Schmid]

Jason:
When you query your modem it should send you a bunch of configuration
messages back.  I believe you mentioned that your modem works under
Windows.  So I suggest you test the waters there first.  Open a
Hyperterminal session to COM1 or wherever your modem is connected and
enter the same AT commands there.  You should see a response of some
form.  If you type ATH you should get an OK back, then try ATDT and some
phone number to see if the modem dials. 

Once you have done those tests try doing the same thing under Linux. 
You can use minicom for this test (type minicom from the command
prompt).  It can be that your serial port shows up as a different number
in Linux than it does in Windows.  My laptop does this and it can be
very confusin.  Do these basic connectivity tests to check that your
modem really works properly.  FYI - COM1 in Windows is usually ttyS0 in
Linux.

Hope this helps,
Ferdinand
