chat "" ATZ OK ATDT6669999

should send ATZ to the modem, when OK comes back, it should dial ATDT6669999
however, all it does is send ATZ but nothing ever comes back.  I can use the
modem just find under minicom, and I have it set for the right COM port and
everything.  Anyone have any clues? please cc email. thanks

It dialed once or twic I think,  The it fails.  No sounds from the modem,
no dialing nothing.

I gave up on it.  I am using Minicom to dial out.  I suggest you do the
same and get Robert Hart's Howto on setting up PPP if that is what you
want to do.

This is part of a collection of serial utilities and serial port
configuration information files.

You can get the collection via ftp from 'scicom.alphacdc.com'.  The file is
'pub/linux/serial_suite.tgz'.  Login as anonymous then give your complete

Sounds to me like a configuration problem - perhaps the wrong IRQ set for the
port. What does 'setserial /dev/cua?' report for the configuration?

| I'm having this same problem..  Chat just doesn't seem to work..  All
| the other comm programs will dial out except chat.

Keep in mind that 'chat' doesn't have anything to do with the modem!
It is just a program used by some other task to execute a dialog.

Which program is *really* using the modem??

chat -v "" ATZ OK < /dev/ttyS1 > /dev/ttyS1

or whever your modem is.
You MUST redirect input and output away from standard input and output.
pppd does this for you when you specify what port it is to use with the options
