I created a file 'afile' that contained the following lines:

I then executed the following line:
cat afile > /dev/modem and cat afile > /dev/ttyS0
both produced the same results, the lights on the modem flashed, but I never heard it try to dial.
You proably need another init string.
I think so too... provided that you are using the correct cable. For testing purposes, you may try AT&F1E0S0=0X3 (E0 = echo off, S0=0 = don't answer calls, X3 = don't detect dial tone): it works with a lot of modems. Better yet, find a MacOS script for the modem (with OS9, look inside System folder - Extensions - Modem scripts), open it with a text editor and look for the init string (usually below @LABEL 3). good luck nicola
