Can anybody help me.
I have never messed with laptops before.
My friend got a laptop. An older Compaq LTE5300. It has a US Robotics XJ-CC5560 PCMCIA card Modem. Fooling around with this for a couple of days now I have also found out it is running Cirrus Logic PCIC compatible PCMCIA controller (if that matters at all).
The problem is that whenever I try to get the modem to dial out. Using AOL, using a Dial Up connection I set up or using the accessory "phone dialer" I just hear the dial tone. The modem never dials. Just the dial tone until the operator says "if you'ld like to make a call.... blah, blah".
When I go to modem properties, diagnostics, more info... I get a list of commands and responses like I've never seen. It starts with the normal AT commands I usually see (not that I know what they do). Then the list goes on. I see things like "Last dialed#", "Normal mode (~Z0)", "strike a key when ready", "stored phone #0: #1: #2: #3", and on and on. There is a stuff in between all of these.
I don't know if the settings / commands above make a difference or not.
The other thing I believe may be an issue but I am not sure. In device manager - Modem is fine, PCMCIA Socket lists "Cirrus Logic PCIC compatible PCMCIA controller" and all is ok. BUT under the heading "OTHER DEVICES" PCMCIA Card Services is listed and there are no drivers installed.
Help me please..... I don't have any clue where to go from here. If there is more info you need, please let me know.
