SUMMARY
Microsoft Windows Terminal uses the following originate string for 100- percent Hayes compatible modems:

  ATQ0V1E1S0=0 The following defines the string:

AT - Command prefix; precedes a command line Q0 - Enables result codes to be issued to the screen V1 - Instructs the modem to display result codes in the numeric format E1 - Echoes commands to the screen S0=0 - Register that holds the number of rings the modem waits before answering the phone (In this case it is set to zero; the      modem will not answer the phone.) This string may hang modems that are not 100-percent compatible. Refer to your modem's manual for your modem's correct originate string.

WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, disable the originate string:


 * 1) Run Terminal.
 * 2) From the Settings menu, choose Modem Commands.
 * 3) Clear the Originate box.
 * 4) Choose the OK button.
 * 5) From the File menu, choose Save to save your changes.
