Well, due to old habits I usually round up a DOS boot disk and try something like this: ECHO ATX0 > COM3 ECHO ATDT123456789 > COM3 If a modem actually exists at COM3 these two commands will make the modem go off-hook, ignore dialtone, and dial "123456789". You probably don't want a phone line connected for this test :) I suppose you could do the same test within linux: echo atx0 > /dev/ttyS2 echo atdt123456789 > /dev/ttyS2 However, since setserial didn't do much for you I'd guess you're screwed. -- Nathan Norman MidcoNet 410 South Phillips Avenue Sioux Falls, SD mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.midco.net finger [EMAIL PROTECTED] for PGP Key: (0xA33B86E9)
