Sounds to me like it can't see the modem at all. Check you are using the
right device name. Can you tip or cu to it OK (and type AT commands).
Check all your cables are good and connected into where you think they
are. If the worst comes to the worst, try running a DOS comms program
and check that it can talk to it OK.
