If I am understanding you, anything you enter does not echo (show) on
the screen. It has been my experience with this problem that the modem
is not correctly configured. (i.e. set device line is not correct, or
the modem is not properly recognized) If you want to quit terminal mode
at this point, you need to type ~. (that is, <tilde><period>). terminal
mode will then quit. With the modem not configured properly, that is
about all you can do in terminal mode. If you type ~. you should get
back to ppp ON Circle>, then you can quit PPP properly.
