[comp.sys.ibm.pc] Procomm vs. dumb modems

aburt@isis.UUCP (Andrew Burt) (08/02/87)

I have a non-autodial modem which I tried to use with procomm (2.4.2)
without success.  Is there something particular I should do for this to
work?  I tried setting the various modem initialization strings to null
strings, but procomm refused to do anything.  That is, I dialed the
phone manually as I do when I use my normal comm. prog. (a homebrew) --
and procomm just sits there.  Nothing I type is sent out, nothing the
host sends is shown on the screen; the transmit light on the modem
confirms that procomm is sending nothing out.

This is not a Hayes compatible modem -- it is a NOTHING compatible:  It has
no command language whatsoever.

I fiddled with procomm for about 20 min. before giving up on it for now.
It may be simple, but not very obvious!

So, anyone done this before?
