Now when I enter term mode I can type a command such as ATDT 5 and the modem will respond, but whatever I type never appears on the screen, the modem's response never appears either. I can tell it's listening because if I type ATDT number the modem dials the number. Basically the problem is that nothing appears on the term screen.
