Greetings: If you don't have Minicom, re Ray's suggestion, you can,
if you have it in your distribution - use 'dip -t'...
I used it years ago to talk to a modem but I don't have it on this
machine.. Try 'man dip' for the syntax.. The '-t' flag means "test."
If you have the mfgr/model number and/or FCC ID number you can search
on www.google.com to see if it's a WinModem or not.. The suggestions
are to stay away from WinModems with Linux but there are drivers for
the Motorola modem specifically for certain narrow distributions.
HTH and good luck,
