Wouldn't 57600 or 115200 be a better port rate? You may get overruns if

but DCD is still - .... you might want to check the cabling to make sure
that the DTR pins are connected... without the DTR modem will answer but

ati-atx

meaning ati, ati1, ati2, ati3, ... , highest I've seen is ati7

Most new firmwares use ati3 as the common location to show firmware

go through them all to see.
