Thanks Lance for your help on the problem...
now, it doesn't say "modem is busy or whatever".
instead now, it just stops when it says "initiliazing modem"....
don't know how to continue, modem dosen't click like when it onrmally starts
dialing! I have enabled xon/xoff, which fiex my original problem!
Thanks a lot, now can anyone solve this problem?
By the way, this modem is a Rockwell based KFlex Modem by amquest (234kbps
version) upgraded via firmware to V.90
