Terminal EXE how to use

In the future please post what version of Windows you are running.

There are a couple of different ways to test your modem.

Quick way:

In the modem properties select the diagnostics tab, then then query modem buttom. This queries your modem for several pieces of information. If you modem returns an answer its safe to say it'll function fine... BUT there is a way to test it further.

Use Dialup networking, phone dialer, or hyperterminal to dial a number, any number you choose, perhaps ring your own office line. If your office line starts ringing, it works!

Hope this helps.

although currently a thing of the past you may still be able to find a dial up bulletin board in your area. Use your telnet to dial there and see if you can connect. IF it dials and at least tries to connect your modem is probably fine.
