-
- I am having several problems with my new external 28.8 Sportster modem.
- As of this writing I have not been able to get the modem to function
- properly even once.
-
- Problems :
-
- 1) no response to ATI1 command
-
- 2) while executing the Telephone Line relay test the following occurs
-
- when I pick up the telephone receiver the AA light comes on even
- though the S0 register is confirmed to be set to 0; when I enter
- the ATH1 command one of two things happen - a) the line stays
- active, that is to say the modem never takes over or b) the modem
- goes off hook, however, when I enter an ATDT command, e.g.,
- ATDT12345 the telephone line becomes active again that is to say
- the dial tone comes back on at the receiver without the modem
- ever attempting to dial the number.
