Thanks for all your help. But I still cannot get my modem to communicate with my PIC. I have tried using LF, '+++', pauses, uppercase 'AT', and even verified with the PIC connected with a PC that the commands are indeed correct, and they are. My modem still doesn't like my PIC. And I verified that the modem is working through a generic PC terminal program. Any more suggestions would be very much appreciated.
