1. A method of analyzing an AT-command comprising:
receiving asynchronous transmission serial data in a transmitting portion based on a baud-rate clock from a DTE;
analyzing the data received with a controller;
generating the baud-rate clock to be output to the transmitting and receiving portion in accordance with instructions from the controller;
measuring a span of a start bit of a first character of an AT command transmitted from the DTE based on instructions from the controller to produce a measurement result;
analyzing the measurement result in a rate-analyzing portion;
outputting frequency-dividing data;
producing a sampling clock in a sampling-clock-generating portion based on the frequency-dividing data and outputting, when the rate of the start bit is more than a preset value, a flag indicating that the rate of the start bit is more than a preset value;
selecting, in accordance with whether or not the flag has been set, the frequency-dividing data from either the rate analyzing portion or the controller;
receiving data subsequent to the start bit of the first character based on the sampling clock;
holding the received data; and
reading the received data with the controller.
