I'm not sure if it will appear if queried. I think it must be present in the commands that you send to the modem. i.e. To check what country code is selected, look at the AT+GCI command in the modem initialisation strings. If it's not there, you're not sending it, and the country code you get is whatever the default happens to be. Basically, in the 'Modem' tab in Kppp there are three buttons "Modem Commands", "Query Modem" and "Terminal". If you click on "Modem Commands" you will be presented with a list of strings that kppp sends to your modem to enact certain commands, as well as a list of strings that kppp expects to see coming back from the modem. Here is where you will place the AT+GCI command. If you have the default modem settings (and I think you do) then you will see some pretty generic settings. Now you know a bit more about your modem you can start tweaking these strings. If I recall (I don't have one in front of me) there are two modem initialisation strings. I suggest you add the AT+GCI... setting in the space for the second one. Whatever you put here is sent to the modem when kppp initialises it. There may be some other settings that you need to enter for the ltmodem. They should be entered in the relevant sections on this screen once you find out what they are. Hit OK when you are done. The next button "Query Modem" sends a bunch of well-known commands to the modem to get it to return information about itself. You have to know what you are looking for to make sense of this info, the Query Modem button just makes it easy to get the info. The "Terminal" button opens a simple terminal for you to 'talk' directly to the modem. Anything you type here will be sent to the modem. Anything the modem sends back will be displayed. This is useful for sending odd commands to the modem for status or configuration purposes, or just to play. For example if you type AT and press enter the modem should respond with OK "AT" is the "ATtention command". Most modem commands are prefixed with AT. For example: ATH - Hangup; ATDT - Dial with tone dialling; ATA - answer the phone. Have fun! A
