Solve : DOS does not see modem?

1.	Solve : DOS does not see modem?
Answer» We are running Windows 98 on a Novell network, and need to use a DOS program to dial into a voice mail system to trouble shoot it. I have checked the settings, and the COM ports are correct, and I can reach the modems from windows, but when I try to reach them from DOS nothing happens. I did an echo atdt12345 > Com1 and it would just give me a DOS prompt.Here, check this out: http://www.gemtree.com/download/terminal.exeYou might want to also use HyperTerminalThere are probably still places where you can get simple DOS terminal programs like ProComm, Omen, or RoboCom to use in DOS and ACCESS your modems. You can write a text file and send it to your modem echo dialin.txt > com1: and it might work BETTER. But then you have nothing to follow up your initial opening of the modem with. The modem will be spraying NUL: with whatever characters the station at the other end tries to send as login INFO.
