You have to get used to this. Some software stats 
numbering at 0, some start at 1. You have to learn 
to keep track of which is which.

Can you fire up a regular terminal program and try 
sending some strings to it?

Many modems will identify themselves when given the 
appropriate commands. Try typing in A T I then 
hitting enter. If that gives a response try adding 
digits to the end of the command. They'll give 
various other bits of info.

Also, if you can even remember the *brand* of the 
modem it would help some.
