      In Terminal mode can you type AT and get an OK reply? If not then the
modem either isn't displaying the echo or not getting the command. Try  ATA
and  see  if  you  hear the modem pick up  the  telephone  line  and  start
squealing.  If it does, the modem is getting and responding to the  command
and probably is OK and there is a computer hardware/driver conflict (modem,
mouse, scanner and so forth).

     If  none  of  these produce any response, the  modem  most  likely  is
defective.
