Hi Ben,

I have the same modem.

It seemed to me when I got it that it wants an initial AT. Anyway, my script
(below) always works for me (line quality permitting).

Do you have the CD that came with the modem? It has full doco in pdf (sect 5 is
AT commands). Mail me off_list if you're missing that.

Do tell the list if you get FAX working - I can't get mgetty to do it (was fine
with my old 33.6 Maestro).

Cheers ... Duncan.
