I'm experiencing problems similar to this which only started fairly recently.
I've got a USR Sportster 28.8 and when I try to long on to either Energis or
Colt I just get a "No Carrier" message. I've tried just ATZ, ATZ0, AT&F1 and
few others but with no luck. I know the modem is working OK because it connects
to another computer directly.

Anybody have any suggestions ?

Cheers,
