I installed minicom so I could dialout as well. The problem is, however, that I can send to the modem, but not receive anything. I can issue any AT commands I want, and the modem executes the command, but nothing ever shows up on the screen. I've made sure that all the AT commands for echoing and issuing reponses are ok, and I can see the receive light flash on the modem, so I know it's trying to echo commands back. I just took the modem (and cable) from an NT box, where it worked perfectly. I've tried messing with stty, reading up on the sio driver, etc, and I can't figure it out. I have a serial mouse that works fine on /dev/cuaa0, but I just can't get any response from the modem (on /dev/cuaa1... and I've tried /dev/ttyd1 as well, with the same results). On boot, sio1 is recognized just fine, no errors, I don't think the serial controller on the motherboard is bad, and the ribbon cable going from the motherboard to the port is fine (that piece is brand new). Does anyone have any suggestions?
