Hi Chris, The complexites fine with me. However I need to know were to find these Hyperterminal equivalent programs in a default load of 64 bit Ubuntu 8. I have had a poke around in accessories and system but I don't see them.

The 'terminal' you've typed "AT" into is the bash terminal or prompt which sends commands to the linux kernel.
The 'terminal' Michael is referering to is program sending commands directly to the modem. The windows equivalent would be Hyperterminal.
Within Linux you could use minicom but many modem controller programs have a terminal available for sending these 'at' type command directly to the mode.
I've generally used kppp in the past but obviously there is a range off programs available.
If this all seems a bit too complicated, there is a fixit day this coming Saturday. It sounds like you might have some suitable hardware this time around.
Cheers,
Chris

Hi Michael,
When I try using the command "AT" in root using the terminal program it responds "Garbled time"
?
Cheers
