Anyone have an aspect script or at least what to turn off/on, etc. on a US Robotics modem for TTY access?

Modem Setup

This is the way I set up the US Robotics to talk to my Meridians and it works everytime.
1. There are (8) dip switches on the rear of the modem. Set switches S1, S3, S7, & S8 in the down position, the rest in the up position.
2. Connect the modem to a terminal or personal computer using a 25 pin RS232 cable.
3. Set the terminal or personal computer serial port to 9,600 baud (8 data bits / no parity / 1 stop bit ).
4. Turn the power ON to the modem.
5. Using the terminal or the terminal portion of the personal computer communications package, issue the following AT command. AT&B1&W&W1
6. Turn the power OFF to the modem, and disconnect it from the terminal or personal computer.
7. Set the (8) dip switches on the rear of the modem as follows. Set switches S1, & S4 in the down
position the rest in the up position.
8. Connect the modem to the Meridian 1 system as instructed in the NTPs.

I'll try that tomorrow.
I have one modem line on a TTY port that is disabling the switch. To be quite honest I think there is something wrong with the cable i.e. the ground is broken or something. No matter what modem is on it (I even put the SEB on it) and no matter what port it is connected to the port sees spurious input and disables in a short time. The cable is the only common hardware, odd as that seems. Wierd.

Thanks. The other short methods I've been given didn't work, or disbled the port due to extraneous outputs to the ports. I did get the modem manuals and go through a long process of switch positions after reading it and got two to work. The older modems ended up dead.
if flow control = no, the the only thing that would normally disu the port is voltage back or pins two and three. to do a cable test, put a nul modem in line and short 2 back to 3, the port rec just it's own transmit, but should stay enabled, that may help isolate the problem

I tested the cable. What I did to fix it was to set it like you told me, then saved it to both 1 and 2, turned off echo, turned off result codes and set it to default to 1 (F0 I believe). Anyway, I now have two ports working. I have been scripting extensively since I learned aspect and have accomplished a great deal this weekend.
