Do you have the speaker enabled?? Any noises??
Run the mini terminal you'll find in the Kppp setup
type the following (Without Quotes..) <cr>= Hit Enter/Return
AT <cr>
ATE1 <cr> echoes output to terminal
ATI <cr> record this output for us
ATZ <cr>
AT L2 M2 X4 S6=1 <cr> - this turns the speaker on Permanantly - Fix it
later
and says wait one second before dialling - fix it
later
Then
ATDT xxxxxxxxx <cr> (Where xxxxx is your own phone number preferably the
number of the line from which you are calling)
Do you HEAR dialtone
Do you HEAR the modem dialling
Did you HEAR the busy tone
Did the modem return a message like 'BUSY' and go quiet?
Post these results
Cheers
