You mean, your modem session is as follows? at OK atdp 12345 <silence> Check minicom settings, maybe it tries to use wrong modem device (/dev/ttyS0 for ex., or even /dev/cua). You can also try to send commands directly to the modem: echo "atdp 12345" >/dev/modem Though, I don't know if it'll help because you cannot hear tones. By the way, can you turn tones on? Try AT L and/or M command for this. And one more advice: you can try to fetch the correct init string for your modem from Windows settings (check modem's .inf file or suchsome). -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
