Check your screen options correctly!
We get many mails from people wondering why the modem does not have an output with valid receive
data. You really need to make sure your serial cable is fully wired and your software
application manages these lines correctly!!!
We use "off the shelf" cables from the Linux host (An HP ML-350) to the modem without any issues.
Additional information is available.
Just send a mail asking for what information you need to be successful.
