[comp.sys.ibm.pc] COM port confusion

dor@beach.cis.ufl.edu (Douglas R. Oosting) (05/27/89)

Sigh...here I am again, asking for help AGAIN.  Our modem keeps wanting to
get into some state where it recieves characters but doesnt acknowledge
commands.  ATZ, for example, makes the RD/SD lights blink, so it is receiving
the characters, but no action is taken.  The port is initialized and opened
to normal paramaters (1200/n/8/1).  Does anybody have any clues they could
mail to me?  ( I dont normally read this group).

Thanks in advance...
Doug Oosting, the hopelessly confused.
