[comp.sys.apple2] modem problems

	I have a problem with using my computer and a modem.

	Firstly, I have an apple IIc and was using a Maestro ZXR
  modem for communcating. The software was Easylink (which was
  not pirated!).

	I set up the software using the auto-config option so
  I assumed that it was OK. My problems started when I tried
  to dial a number and it asked for the number, said it was
  dialing the number and waiting for a response, but the modem
  gave no indication of what was happening. It then gave the
  message that the modem wasn't responding.

	All the equipment I used was practically new (except for
  the computer itself) and I double checked every connection.
  What could be the problem here? Any help would be greatly 
  appreciated as I want to download some useful software.

	Thanks in advance.
