- Bad news... guess what. If it came from a PS/2 and it is an internal modem
- it might be a MCA modem. If it is an external, and you type AT, and get
- OK back, the cable is just fine. I run 25 pin cable straight though on
- my modems.
-
- Do ATS11? and ATS9?
- One of these are going to be 55 or above. (I think it will be 11, so check
- that first). Do this : ATS11=95
-
- That will lengthen the tones to 95 ms.
-
- Also, try ATDP and see if it pulse dials and can make it out.
-
- Those are my ideas.
