Hope this is the right group for such questions.

I am trying to attach an external modem to my machine. It is a US Robotics
2400 baud modem. The windows manual that i have points me to setup the com
port and then use the Terminal app. 

The mouse uses COM1 and i changed the parameters of COM2 to the right baud 
rate, parity and stop-bits. I also set the Terminal app to use COM2, but 
cannot get the machine to talk to the modem, typing AT should return OK, 
but i get nothing.

What is the right way to connect an external modem? Oh, and i have a 486 box
from Compudyne, w/ serial, parallel, printer and game ports.

E-mail preferred, i do read this newsgroup too.

thanks
micky
