   Hello,   
      
   I recently received my first two US Robotics modems for my Mystic BBS.   
   Unfortunately, the first one was defective, but the seller refunded me.   
      
   The second modem is brand new, yet neither of them responds to AT commands.   
   However, the new one does dial out and can synchronize with a BBS. The issue   
   is that it doesn't respond to any AT commands sent to it. This is causing a   
   significant problem with Windows because, without proper responses to AT   
   commands like "OK" or "ERROR," Windows fails to recognize the modem. This also   
   affects SEXYZ, as it expects the modem to acknowledge its commands.   
      
   I suspect there's something I'm missing or haven't done correctly. These are   
   US Robotics 5686 modems, which are standard serial modems. I've tested them on   
   several serial ports across multiple computers, including the built-in ports   
   on the motherboard and special RS232 serial cards.   
      
   Does anyone know how to resolve this issue?
