The issue is that it doesn't respond to any AT commands sent to it.
I've tested
them on several serial ports across multiple computers, including the built-in ports on the motherboard and special RS232 serial cards.
I suspect there's something I'm missing or haven't done correctly. These are US Robotics 5686 modems, which are standard serial modems. I've tested them on several serial ports across multiple computers, including the built-in ports on the motherboard and special RS232 serial cards.
Does anyone know how to resolve this issue?
The second modem is brand new, yet neither of them responds to AT commands. However, the new one does dial out and can synchronize with a
temporarily disable RTS handshaking on the modem side. If you get a response after issuing it, this will indicate the hardware handshaking isn't configured correctly. --- SBBSecho 3.14-Win32
Check the DIP switches on the modem. I seem to recall one of them (or
some combination) disables AT command support.
Or it could be your serial cable or serial port at fault.

Fingers crossed! :)

From what I saw on the page i'm doing everything ok...
AT&F&W doesn't heal anything? (I'm thinking if NVRAM settings have become corrupt in some way.)

I have 4 used modems of the same brand and model that are arriving in about a week. I will be able to see if they also do the same thing. That
What frustrates me the most is that I am rusty. It's been so many years since I worked with modems that I think that in the past we would have found the problem easily. But now we have lost knowledge and also our
But, hopefully, trying different things one at a time will reveal the solution in due time...
Fingers crossed!

I am not giving up, I want to find out. Especially since I will be able
to compare with several modems too.

This is a project I had, but it seems that FidoNet hasn't given me any feedback or comments about it. So, it seems like people aren't
interested and don't want it. I didn't mention it on FsxNet because FidoNet kind of discouraged me from wanting to move things forward.

do you know http://2600.network ?
also i am using an asterisk pbx for my phone lines, we can link together if you'd like. i think who is interested in using real modems have a pbx installed.
