I'm trying to configure the modem for internet connectivity and failing miserably. This mail done from work. I have seen reports that Sportster modems have a timing bug that has been cured on later versions but I don't know if this is relevant to our problem. I get nothing back from the modem using any terminal type program using either FreeBSD or DrOSs/Windoze. That is I type AT it replies...nothing. Curiously though it does do what I tell it to do whilst in term mode. That is ATDT9549666 will dial up my ISP and get a connection but of course I can't see anything. If you get an answer to this problem then please let me know - although if I can't solve it in the next few days I'm going to return the modem as `unsuitable for the purpose for which it was sold'. If I get a fix I'll let you know.
