I tried the external Sportster under 4.8 but after it wouldn't work, I upgraded to 5.1 to lower the chances of having to go through this again when I did switch. I have modem manuals and played with dip switches and lots of AT commands including "ATE1" ("keyboard commmands"), "ATF0" (I think that's only for data that the modem sends out the phone line), "ATX4" ("result codes"), re-init commands ATZ, ATZ1-ATZ5, AT&F1, and many others. I've been through this several times before (on Linux) and think I know what I'm doing (except I've never understood the interactions of "stty" and serial-port-using programs like terminal emulators. It's strange that "ATI" gives it's results if I press keys, but "AT" or "$" don't. I've found a place to do my FAXing, so the pressure's off on getting this fixed. BTW, my other question was about the dmesg files, but I should have thought of the HISTORY_SIZE thing for at least the console. (/var/run/dmesg.boot has 943 lines of nothing I care about.) Someone suggested "kern.consmsgbuf_size=16384".
