Thanks for your suggestions. Yes, I do have all the lines setted (DTR, TD, GND, RD, DSR are the 5 pins I used) and I had my //c upgraded a long time ago. But you had another good suggestion. Set DTR on always. I'm not sure about DTR but I really should have DSR on so that I'll get MR (modem ready). I completely forgot about needing MR before I can send things to my modem. So I setted DSR on, and hence, the MR led went on, and presto, my PRINTs went to the modem and it dialed. My keyboard entries also went to the modem like it should. ie. it works! Thanks Grant. Now my only problem is.... I'm using a SupraModem with software dip switch settings. ie. I had to send "AT&S" to the modem to set DSR on before I can send command to the modem. (I ran a comm program to send "AT&S" to setted MR on) ie. If I can only somehow send "AT&S" to the modem to set DSR (hence MR) on, so that I can start sending AT commands like "AT&S" to modem, in my program. (If I don't have DSR on (MR on), my program would hang right after PR#2 and hence I can't send AT commands like AT&S to set my modem up). Suggestions? Thomas.
