byists. Wanted to add a true dialup node, so I picked up a 56k USR 525 voice/dat
a/fax modem. Has both DB-25 and USB ports. Claimed to work with Win 95/98/2000. 
Unfortunately, my Debian Linux box refuses to recognize it. I've tried mgetty, v
getty, and agetty, and the modem simply won't recognize the ATZ or ATDT719555121
2 strings, or respond with an error code. It's got a new USB cable and a DB25-to
-DB9, so its not the cable....plugged it into my old ThinkPad, and it works grea
t. I should mention that the Linux box is a Raspberry Pi 4B, 8 GB RAM, 500GB SSD
