Your message doesn't indicate if you have an analog phone
line or not.  First, verify that you do.  If you don't then
the modem will not detect a dial tone.  Second, hook up an
analog phone into the "phone" (other) jack on the modem and
see if you get a dial tone.  If so, then dial a 9 and listen
for what happens.  Do you get a second dial tone?  If you do
then try using AT DT 9 W 123 45678 (the spaces are just for
readability).

Try using AT$ and AT&$ for online help from the modem.

good luck.

OK. So the modem works.

Ah, you're behind a local PBX . You'll have to change the
modem's init strings to not be looking for a carrier_detect
signal due to the fact that the PBX doesn't provide one.
Add

ATX3

to the initstring sent to the modem, or write it into
the modem's NVRAM using any terminal program.

Right. The modem's default settings are ATX4, which means
"look for a dialtone before dialing anything" .

Here the phone co. changes the tone if the line has some special
services to something that sounds like the busy tone, and as such is
recognized by the modem. I found that my modem uses X3 in the init
string to stop waiting for dial tone (X4 in normal conditions). You
can find out in window$ if you have it with dual boot using it's
drivers: in the advanced item of the modem properties activate
logging. This writes all the commands sent to the modem to a text file
in c:\windows\ (i don't remember the name, look in the help). Then
dial. Uncheck the "wait for dial tone" box, an redial. Then read the
log and compare the two init strings. You'll find the one for it.

Now, if you don't have the big bad os and the modem's manual don't
tell you how to do it, call the makers of the modem. Maybe they help
you out.

Hope this helps

Hey,

here we have to use at x3 dt .....

That's because our PBX does not provide a "normal" dial-tone. X3 (as far
as I remember) tells the modem not to wait for a dialtone.

You don't _have_ a dialtone if using a PBX. Set the initstring
to be using ATX3 (no waiting for dialtone), alas
ATX3DT9,1231234 .

1. US Robotics WinModem Sportster 28.8 Init String

 I have installed the US Robotics Winmodem Sportster 28.8 internal modem in my
machine. I believe that Linux can find the device because I hear it
dialing and all, but I don't get a dial tone. Does anyone have an INIT
string that they find works for this modem? Any sample DIP scripts i
can look at to see how you connect with this modem?

Any help appreciated,
Chris
