The cable does work on another system. The serial port seems as if it is
not working at all. As I said before I do not see a lights blink during
modem initilization. Even in the past when a modem is not working properly
I still get some type of reaction. And that program that Shanta pointed
out, "wvdial" which does a modem detection, did not find anything.
I have seen the same problem with AT motherboads and goofy wiring, however
this is a DECpc, and it uses an ATX style motherboard.
The modem is external. USR Courier v.everything 33.6.
Humm! It honestly looks as if the serial port on the computer is not
working. This would explain why I could never get apcd and upsd working
about 4 months ago.
