Hiya,

I have the same problem as you described in an earlier post. I still have my 
modems from the 90s and once in a while I hook them up to enjoy the speed we 
used to have. I always hook up the USR modems, because .. well because they are 
USR .... 

I also have some other external modems, some noname 28k8 and a Smartlink 
V.32Terbo. Those two modems do exactly as you describe. I enter the AT 
commands, I see the lights responding and the modems do whatever they need to 
do except for giving back the OK and other result codes .....
The modems also dont return a connect whatever message which is ofcourse a 
problem.

So it could be that the adapters that I use for them are not the correct ones 
(I wrote down brand and modem types on them, but I could have made a mistake). 
Other issue could be that the adapters have gone bad.

Maybe some still owns a Smartlink 1414AV V.32Terbo modem and adapter :)
Anyway thanks for the "solution".

gTx!
SpI!
