It's possible that your modem isn't DOS compatible. I recently found
this to be true with my Sony 200mmx/33.6 DVSD modem. Sony says the
modems in their computers are primarily designed to work in Win95 only.
The remedy was to add a second modem (DOS friendly) to the computer.
Everything now works fine.
