Three pointers:
1. If you want to use ethernet and modem at the same time, you have to
enable IRQ sharing in the kernel (CONFIG_SHARE_IRQ?)
2. after startup my modem does not work. I first have to do a
      setserial /dev/modem irq 0
      setserial /dev/modem irq 3
   /dev/modem is a symlink made by pcmcia 
3. At some point my modem settings were wrong. Try resetting to the factory
settings (AT&F)

Hope this helps.

Ben.
