If you have this modem, US Robotics 56K Fax modem, Product # USR5686D, I 
need some help. It is an external modem and I have connected it to my
second serial port. I am able to connect to the modem using term /dev/cuaa1 and 
also the tip command, but once I am connected I can't enter anything in.
No characters show up on the screen when I type them into the keyboard. Its
not a problem with the modem, since I tested it on my windows XP machine and
it worked fine. Also the port works since I can connect.

I think there is a problem with one of the three following files 
/etc/remote, /etc/modems or /etc/ppp/ppp.conf.

If you have this modem could you dump a copy of each of these files into a 
text file and send it to me so I can compare.

I added an entry for this modem in /etc/modems using the init_string =
AT\r. It should work. There is a second init_string for this modem, but
that 
is the one that worked on the XP machine, plus I've tried them both and 
neither works correctly.

When I use the command tip -57600 ####### it tells me that tip can't 
synchronize with the modem.
