Something seems a bit odd. When I run minicom it definitely talks
to the modem, but the data it displays is rubbish (non-ascii
characters). I tried a couple of the AT commands people mentioned
here, and something seems to happen but of course it is a bit hard
to tell when you can't read the output. I tried "ATD" (which I
assume is a dial command) - the "OH" light came on and the modem
made that noise that it normally makes just before dialling.

Any idea why the minicom output would be strange? Any pointers
to documentation of the AT commands?

Regards,

Bruce.
