Ah, maybe you have to change from half-duplex to full-duplex?
(or vice versa, I can never remember)...
I know I never had any success trying to cat (or echo) text
straight into the /dev/ttyS0 file to try to get the modems
attention. I always had to use a program (whether minicom,
or wvdial, or some kind of ppp chat method).
Could be I just did it wrong. Maybe the
echo foo > /dev/ttyS0
method doesn't have any way to say back "OK". Except for
lighting up the lights and making beeping noises, of course.
