First things first..
AT commands = AT (attention)plus a command or string of commands
for the modem. like ATDT = ATtention, Dial Tone usually followed by a
number to dial. ...
Modem connection speed .. most modems will accept baud rates up to
115k, some even to 230 or 250k. I've never seen what happens with higher
numbers... 115k usually keeps up with a 56k modem.
now for the guessing.. I'm going to speculate there is an irq
overlap. With irq problems, the modem may be found, but modem <~> system
communication might be????
