but my modem does not respond to any commands. Is there some way I could
debug this? Should I see some kernel messages in the logs? I waited for at
least 30s. I even tried in single user mode to be sure that no other process
blocks the modem. I also unloaded all irda stuff (by the way this works, so
macserial should be ok in principal).

mine reports the same whenever i load macserial.o
I do really not know whats wrong, because it seems to work for others using
the same setup. My kernel is 2.4.17-ben0 rsynced on 12/28/2001 (image
downloaded from debian.jones.dk)
I would like to have some hints on how to debug the problem further or on a
bullet-proof way of waking up the modem.
