Hi Mel,
I would suggest to you that you enter a regular terminal program. Then
enter the following AT command: "ati3", without the quotations. This
command will report the firmware revision, model, and interface type.
If in the resulting report you find "rpi" anywhere in the string, then you
have an RPI modem and I send my condolences. RPI stands for Rockwell
Proprietary Interface. To find out more about what you don't want to hear,
go here: http://www.driverzone.com/drivers/rockwell/rpi/index.html
Sorry about that.
Better luck next time!
