Some things to try:
- Is your computer a Compaq Presario? If so, Make
  sure Call Minder is turned off.
- Check for resource conflicts. I have had these
  problems when the modem or COM port is using
  the same IRQ or address as another device. Eg if
  COM 3 is set to IRQ 4 (default), there could be
  problems, because this is the same default as COM1.
- Test the modem directly with HyperTerminal.
  Run HyperTerminal, connect directly to COM 3, type
  at&f <return>. You should get an OK response. If this
  works consistently, there is a problem with the modem
  driver. Try using the Standard 28800 driver instead.

Hope this helps,
