Windows Users: Go to Start | Settings | Control Panel.
Double-click Modems and then click the Diagnostics tab.
(Windows XP users, you also have to click Query Modem.)
Highlight the port next to the entry for your new modem and
click More info. Click OK or Close and then close the
Control Panel.
Linux Users: To verify that your modem is working properly,
you need to issue an AT command. You can do this by using a
data communications program such as Minicom, which comes
with most versions of Linux, or a similar alternative. (To use
Minicom, you will need to know the serial port the modem is
connected to. Consult your Linux documentation if you need
assistance.)
