I believe that I could get it to say "Modem Ready" on /dev/cua1 or /dev/cua2. I don't believe that it's a winmodem. Almost positive that it's not. What do you think might me happening?

The modem say's that it's ready but when I try to connect it just says "initalizing modem" and never does anything. I can even go and do a query of my modem and I can see it sending AT commands to it but it never comes back with any results. The modem that I have is a Multi Tech internal PCI modem and I am going to try another PCI modem tonight. Do I need to have some kinda init string sent to the modem for it to work? If so where? Is there some kinda problem with the way I have my com ports setup. Any help would be greatly welcomed. First question - What ttyS (com port) do you have it assigned to? Is it a Winmodem? (does the packaging say "Designed for Windows" ? Do you run Windows?? Does it work there?? If so tell what it is set to - Com number and IRQ.
