Thank you for your reply - I was away this weekend so not monitoring.

Version: I will get you an answer tonight, along with your other 
comments, as the phone is 50 miles away now. However I can confirm AT 
config fails too.

If all I want to do is send / recv SMS messages, is there an alternative 
approach the list can recommend.

What I was hoping the list might provide is an FAQ on the basics of the 
communication with the phone - I usually have some idea of what is 
supposed to happen making debugging easier - but for this I am totally 
blind - is there a "USB/serial comms and AT for dummies" book?


Thanks in advance
