Hello Ken,

I have a NetComm E11F modem and I have similar problems. When I use 
Telix for DOS it is initialised OK and works well, when I use 
Hyperterminal in Windoze 95 the modem is also initialised and works 
well, however when I try to connect to the MPCUG Internet service the 
Internet dialler returns a message that the Modem is not responding and 
that I should turn it of, then back on again and retry. This does NOT 
work, the only way I can get it to work is to select MODEMS in Control 
panel then select diagnostics, the modem is then interrogated, it 
returns the settings of various registers etc., then I can dial the 
Internet. If there is a busy line and I cannot get through I usually 
have to go through the same procedure before I can redail, but not 
always, about 90% of the time I have to.

I put this to the gurus at PC World on Line and they report it is a 
known bug in Windoze 95.

I know this does not help you but it may explain your problem.
