Yes. There isn't anything wrong with the modem if there was then
I wouldn't be able to log onto my ISP from MS$ Windows and
I wouldn't be able to mail you..

Firstly the AT command is OK. Secondly the commands 'tip'
and 'cu' are in essence both built on the basis of 'cu'
except that 'tip' has a bit more involved in setup terms.
To test a problem of this nature I think that one needs
the SIMPLEST RS232 interface possible which is the reason
for using 'cu'.
