Oy, the second post to questions in the same day :(

So, I bought new modem and got it "working", but only kind of - the modem is
not echoing commands back to the 'cu' or 'ppp' terminals. It is a USRobotics
5610B 56K Pro Modem. It is not winmodem and the system put it on sio2.

Is this an internal or external modem?


Internal

dmesg | grep 'sio[0-9]':
sio0: configured irq 2 not in bitmap of probed irqs 0x20
sio0: <3COM PCI FaxModem> port 0xe000-0xe007 irq 2 at device 10.0 on pci0
sio0: moving to sio2
sio2: type 16550A
sio0 at port 0x3f8-0x3ff irq 4 flags 0x10 on isa0
sio0: type 16550A
sio1 at port 0x2f8-0x2ff irq 3 on isa0
sio1: type 16550A




I made all the devices in /dev eventhough they already existed.

I added a direct line to the modem in /etc/remote like:
cuaa2:dv=/dev/cuaa2:br#57600:pa=none

I can connect to the modem like:
cu -l /dev/cuaa2
or
tip cuaa2
or
ppp (then 'term')

I can type commands and see them. I type ATDT1234567 and the modem picks up
and dials. So I know it hears and understands me. But it never echoes back
result information. I never see an "OK" or anything from the modem in the
terminal.

So you get nothing when you type 'AT' followed by enter with nothing else?



Correct.




The problem is that HylaFAX relies on these echo results to control its
communication with the modem. It is looking for those "OK"s. Does anyone have
any ideas on how to get the "OK"s working? I have gone through all of the AT
commands USR documents and I can't get anything. Is this a problem with 'cu'
or 'ppp' or 'tip'? The results are obviously going somewhere, but I don't know
where.

And this makes me ask my first question. Is this internal or external?



The AT command set for this modem is documented (USR issues the same document
for all their modems - this is an online version from another model instead of
a PDF version that is posted with my specific model, but they are the

same) here:


http://www.usr.com/support/839/83909-ug/six.html

This should turn on all echos (but does not):
ATQ0 E1 F0

These should at least get the result codes you need. Maybe try an at&f1
which is Load Factory 1, HW FC and see if that gets the OK working. The only thing I could do to mine to turn of the OK is Q1.



Nothing with at&f1 or any of the factory settings. Do you have this modem? Are you willing to share the steps you took to get it working properly?

I have:

All I did is plug mine into a PCI slot and used the cu command you mentioned above and it simply worked. Before that I used it with ppp for dialup before I got my ISDN line. Maybe your modem is bad?
