That looks like a 'soft' modem (ie. WinModem) style of modem to me.
Best to get rid of it and see if you can find anyone that has a "real"
modem.<br>

I know I have a decent modem cable. I use the one from the box & I also
tried the one from my other modem.
I've sent an email to DSE support. Maybe they can give me some info.
Also, here's what I've found from playing around:
I can download anything okay, & upload very small amounts of data (such
as a request to view a webpage),but when I want to upload something of
common size - such as sending an email, the program will timeout.
I've looked this up in google & the Linux Modem & Serial Port HOWTOs,
and they say this sort of program can be caused by flow control not
working.
I looked up the AT command set for this modem in the PDF manual, and it
says that the K3 & K4 commands should enable flow control. I tried these
AT commands, but they appear to make no effect on the problem. I also
tried to change the serial port settings with the stty program, but this
didn't work either.
The modem lights are like:
DISCONNECTED FROM THE WEB:
MR = on
CTS = on
CONNECTED TO THE WEB:
MR = on
TR = on
CD = on
SD & RD = on when data transfer is occuring.
RTS = on
CTS = on
OH = off
if anyone can help me, it would be great.
Does anyone else here have this particular modem? If so, I wouldn't mind
seeing what AT commands you use with it.
thanks,

<pre wrap="">hi all,
I just got a DSE Electronics Serial 56k Modem
(<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.dse.co.nz/cgi-bin/dse.storefront/4207ba1c0067f898273fc0a87f9906e9/Product/View/XH1142">http://www.dse.co.nz/cgi-bin/dse.storefront/4207ba1c0067f898273fc0a87f9906e9/Product/View/XH1142</a>)
It works, except I can't seem to enable flow control. This is a problem,
because when I try to upload anything, the modem gets the data sent to
it too fast, and drops the packets. This makes it impossible to even
send email.
Can anyone give me some help here?
I've tried using the &K4 command (to enable xon/xoff), but it doesn't
appear to do work. :-(
thanks,
