I think that modem is probably made by CIS Technology in Taiwan and 
called perhaps a Wisecom WS-2814IV5.

As a general rule, for a 28,800 or 33,600 modem use 115200 if it works 
successfully at that speed, otherwise use 57,600 .

No, not as such.  But from AT command responses I will be able to 
reliably identify the modem for you and will be able to make a 
definitive driver file that you and other Turnpike users will be able to 
benefit from.

Please could you e-mail to me the output of some AT commands for your 
modem.   You can do this from your favourite DOS terminal program, from 
Windows Terminal or Windows 95 HyperTerminal.

In Windows Terminal you just need to change the communications settings 
to the COM port of your modem, hardware flow control, no parity and say 
19,200 baud.

In HyperTerminal you will probably need to choose direct to COM1, or
whatever COM port your modem uses.  Just choose a speed of say 19200
bits per second, you can leave the default settings of 8 data bits, no
parity, 1 stop bit and hardware flow control.

First type in the letters AT and press carriage return.  You should see 
the modem respond OK.  You can then type in each command line in turn.  
In windows you can then cut and paste the results from the modem into a 
message.

I principally need to see the output of an AT&F&V commands and an ATI4 
command.  If you have the patience, then I would be interested to see 
the results from this longer list:

AT&F&V
AT+MS?
AT\S
ATI0
ATI1
ATI2
ATI3
ATI4
ATI5
ATI6
ATI7
ATI8
ATI9
AT+MS=?
AT+FMFR?
AT+FMDL?
AT+FREV?
AT*NC
AT*NC?
AT*NL
AT#MDL?
AT#MFR?
AT#REV?

It may be that some of these lines will simply respond OK, because they 
are not implemented on your modem, some may also respond ERROR because 
they are not recognised at all by your modem.  So these responses do not 
necessarily mean that you have typed something wrong, if you just show 
me the result then I can decide.

>P.S the manual reads like a japenesse cookbook!!!

Is that a User's Guide, marked on the back page: WS-28(14)E(I)V(M)5  
M20082107400 and perhaps an Annex marked M20086206300 ?
