  The "AA" light indicates that this modem believes you want it to
answer incoming calls, which sounds like it is probably incorrect.

  Much of the stuff at

http://www.dazza.ndirect.co.uk/sportster_modem_drivers.htm

doesn't apply to you, but look carefully -- if your Sportster is
detected as a "Standard modem", you don't have the Sportster drivers
installed, and you probably should fix that first.
