When you change the baud rate of the port you need to connect to the modem locally to let it sync to the new speed. Try # cu -l /dev/cua0 -s 4800 dir You should get a Connected message. Then issue some AT commands like ati Disconnect with a ~ . You enter the tilde, pause a bit and your machine name should appear in brackets and then enter the dot See the modem manual on locking port speed. It's been quite a while since I've had to do this so I probably have some detail wrong but this should get you moving in the right direction.
