Ok. Now you can talk to the modem.
Can you ATE1 then go through the command I gave in the earlier eMail?
Regards, Mark.

I have tried typing "SETUP" (in caps and not) a lot of times at various points through the boot, but no response. I have tried following this with CR and CR+LF. It does not echo what I type (though I can set a local echo) is that normal?

Both physical networks work at times, but both also fail at times. This is true in a wide area (I have tried as far south as Perth which is about 100 miles away) so it can't be an issue with the local cell tower. There is no O2 coverage in my area of the country (despite what their coverage map claims). I think I may need to return the hardware.
