Just as a test, I'd try the following command: echo ATDT(some_phone_number) > /dev/ttyS0 and see if you hear the modem pick up and dial. If you've got a second phone line (or cell phone, etc), you can dial it and answer it and hear yourself talking to yourself (if you've got a speaker on the modem). echo ATH > /dev/ttyS0 to hang up the line. echo ATZ > /dev/ttyS0 to reset the modem. If this test works, it'll verify that Linux and your modem will work together, and that the hardware is okay. HTH.
