I got a cheap external modem at an auction and am
trying to get it working. No luck so far. It didn't
come with cable or power supply, so I'm having to
guess what it requires.
-
All the previous modems I've dealt with have been
internal, so I could be getting it wrong. I would
appreciate suggestions from those of you who have
used external modems before.
-
I've been using a "straight-through" serial cable.
Are there any types of external modems that don't
use a "straight-through" cable. On the back of the
modem (next to the serial port) it says: DTE/EIA-232D.
Is this significant?
-
On the front of the modem are lots of little lights:
HS AA CD OH DTR DSR CTS TXD RXD EC SQ TST. When I
power up the modem, different combinations of lights
come on, depending on the voltage and the polarity of
the power supply. It would be really useful to know
which should light up when the modem is first turned
on.
-
Any help would be appreciated. It's a 19200 modem, so
it would be useful if I could get it going.

Cheers,
