These are right my problems, too.

When I try a vm diagnostics modem the output goes with

 ATI -> OK and
 ATI1 -> OK but then comes
 ATI3 -> can't read from the modem... (like this)

I tested the various ATI* found in .../vm/main.c with "seyon" and they
reported me the desired information.

What is now the problem? I don't know.

Please help with followup and mail.

Thank You!
