This is usually caused by having another COM port at the same address in your PC. Perhaps your machine has another COM2 built in or there is a COM2 port on another expansion board. You need to either disable the other port or change it to another address.

Make sure it is sending the proper ATXn code. Some modems support up to ATX4 result codes and some go to ATX9. Check your modem manual. I assume you are connecting up ok, just not seeing the response message ? The Duplex setting has nothing to do with the response messages. Hope this helps. BOBB
