Hi, I have a rather strange modem problem: I have a 1200 baud Hayes compat. modem (Repko M2000trio) that I want to connect to my 386 clone. I got it from a friend, who used it with a PS/2 and Procomm 2.3, which worked ok. However, when I attach it to my 386 with Procomm 2.4.2, it does not dial any phone number properly: I can hear the (phone) dialing tone through the internal speaker, waiting for a number to be dialed. But the dialing itself is just a short period of (fluctiating) noise (which length is proportional to the length of the phone number, so it DOES try to dial something). And then of course, nothing happens. With my friend's PS/2, everything still works, i.e. we can hear the dialing pulses. I've tried it with a 286 (Bull Micral, so no cheap clone...), but I get the same negative result. Also, I've tried using Windows' (3.0 and 3.1) Terminal program, but again: no luck. What could cause this problem? I don't suppose it's the serial cable, since it is a full 25-wire one (or is it wrong to connect all 25 pins???) Any help would be greatly appreciated.
