Modem: TR but no ATZ-OK

["Wm. G. McGrath" <wgm@telus.net>]

Hi all,

I have a problem with a fresh install of 2.2.r5 and a modem known to
be good.

wvdialconf won't locate the modem. It finds nothing.
minicom doesn't display 'ATZ' and 'Ok' strings upon initialization.
Nor can it dial out.
BUT setserial -g indicates /dev/ttyS1, UART: 16550A,  Port:0x2f8,
and IRQ:3 
AND when I run minicom set to /dev/ttyS1 the TR light on the modem
comes on. If I configure /dev/ttyS0 it does not.
ALSO running <getty -w -I 'ATZ' 115200 ttyS1 -t5> will also light up
the TR light and then turn it off after 5 seconds.

I'm pretty sure /dev/ttyS1 is the right port and the connector on
the box is connected to Comm2 on the motherboard. So what gives? Why
isn't the modem responding? How can I send a string to modem from
the command line? 
The modem is known to be good - I'm using it on another box to send
this.

Suggestions? Comments? Questions?
