Hi,

I have a simple program to dial out via a hayes modem. When run, the
modem RD and TD lights blink showing that it receives the dial string
from the program but doesn't really dial out.
Here is the relevant piece of code. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

void sttyModem(int fd)
{
        struct termio tbuf;
        if (ioctl(fd, TCGETA, &tbuf) < 0 )
                cerr << "ioctl(TCGETA) failed; errno = "<< errno << endl;
        tbuf.c_iflag = IXON | IXOFF | ISTRIP | IGNBRK | IGNPAR;
        tbuf.c_oflag = 0;
        tbuf.c_lflag = 0;
        tbuf.c_cflag = B300 | CS7 | CREAD | HUPCL | PARENB;
        tbuf.c_cc[4] = 1;       // MIN
        tbuf.c_cc[5] = 0;       // TIME
        if (ioctl(fd, TCSETAF, &tbuf))
                cerr << "ioctl(TCSETAF) failed; errno = "<< errno << endl;

main()

        int tty_fd;
        tty_fd=open(....)  etc.
        sttyModem(tty_fd);

        char *str="ATDT91(800)222-3333\r";            //some number
        char ss[10];

        write(tty_fd, str, strlen(str));
        read(tty_fd, ss, 1);
        // other code..........
        exit(0);

I had the same problem a few years ago.
Some modems don't like receiving an AT command at full speed.
I solved the problem bij sending each character seperate and waiting for the
output to drain by using the ioctl command.
Change your single write into a loop where each character is written seperately
followed by ioctl(tty_fd,TCSBRK,1).
