Question Got connected with Modem but cannot dial Telephone no. to connect to host

Hello There,

I configure my Modem as follow.

Step1.

# admintool &

Then from Browse --> Serial Port

i select tta port and Edit --> Modify

From that i select Template : ModemSmilieial Out
Baud Rate: 9600
Ok

Step 2

# tip /dev/cua/a
connected

Before it was showing All Ports are Busy , but now it shows message Connected.

Step 3

# vi /etc/remote

i insert file line as

modem:dv=/dev/cua/a:br#115200

save that file and gave following command

#tip modem
connected

Problem:

Now while it is connected i want to check its configuartion, speed etc..but cannot find how.

i am trying to give commands like AT&v , ATL6, ATL7, AT*c
but cannot get anything.

How can i give these commands ? i try ~ATL6 but did not work.

i try to connect to remote host with any telephone no. lets say 123-4567 by giving following command

#tip modem
connected
ATDT1234567

it does not do anything, i did not hear any dialing tone.

what is wrong, ? how can i give these commands ?

Any suggestion ?

I used the same commands you posted and got the same results.

Nothing after connecting via tip.

Of course, I don't have a modem on my system - that's where you are having a problem. The system does not really 'see' your modem. Check the cable connecting it and make sure it's plugged in and works correctly. Also make sure your TERM is set correctly (vt100 works for almost everything!).
