Hi All,
Well I finally got the modem to work with the max232 and the serial port. I also got it to accept AT commands from the pic and it returns "OK" when send it "AT". However I am having more problems (go figure). When I send the AT command "ATI6" I should get a "2403” response, which I get when hooked up to the serial port on my PC. When hooked up to the PIC all I get is a bunch of numbers which I can't find any discernable pattern to. I know when I read the "OK" back from the "AT" command I have to strip off 4 bytes before I get to the "OK". Is it possible that
I need to strip off more bytes for the "ATI6" command I read in 10 bytes and didn't see anything like I should be getting. I will post the 10 bytes I received from the modem may one of you can see something I didn't. Or if any one else has any Ideas that would be great.

regards

Jim
