Hi again all,
thanks to lots of advice and a little luck, I have now arrived at the point
where I can get my internal pnp modem to dial, and I hear it happening.  I
have been using minicom, and I now have the following problem:

Although it responds to AT commands such as ATDT xxxxxx
th emodem does not send strings back to minicom as far as I can tell.

all of the suggestions tell me to expect OK as a return.  even when I tell
it to dial and it does, it doesn't send back anything except a much delayed
(~10 sec) echo of my keystrokes.
Minicom also seems to get a <lf> every few seconds.  when I get the modem to
dial my ISP minicom shows apparently random groups of characters, a few
every 10 or so seconds.

The modem appears to handshake ok (I'm not really sure, but it sounds the
same as a successful connect under W95), but once its connected I just get
these seemingly corrupt strings.

Why aren't I getting even the OK messages?

any thoughts or guidance much appreciated.
