Some modems accept a command that limits the maximum speed the modem will converse in (V.34 modems sometimes use AT&N3). Some V.90 modems allow you to force the modem into the Bell V.22, 2400 baud mode (try AT+MS=V22B,0,2400). Modem 'Hangs' after Call If the call is successful but the modem is 'stuck' after calling the NIST, try turning off DTR. Sometimes DTR will cause the modem to hang-up prematurely not allowing the port to reset.

The terminal allows you to manually walk through the connection sequence of connecting to the NIST via modem. Won't Open Port Message The com port selected is not the one used by the modem.
