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,
