(1) Can you communicate with the modem using cu or tip?

# cu -l cuaa0 -s 19200

(If yes: the problem is with ppp, not with the modem or cable)

(2) When you press keys on the keyboard, does the "TD" or "TX" LED flash on
the modem (very faintly?)

(If no: your cable is probably bad, or perhaps the modem itself)

(3) Maybe the modem has been configured not to echo commands or give result
codes. Try typing
ATE1Q0 <return>
and see if the modem then comes back with "OK". If so, AT&W to store
these new settings.

(4) Is it possible that the modem has had its serial port locked to a
different speed? Try cu with -s 9600, -s 38400, -s 57600, -s 115200 and see
if it responds to 'AT' at any of those.

(5) Is it possible that the modem has been configured into some leased-line
mode which does not respond to AT commands? Check any DIP switches or
front-panel configuration.

Regards,

Brian.
