OK, I mounted my mac partition and got the init string, but sadly it
didn't work. Same result:

I'm not using a dialer, though, I'm just using 'pon' and editing
/etc/chatscripts/provider. Also, my modem works on my old phone line
just not the new one.
I also changed the script to *not* look for CONNECT, but instead to
just pause 10 seconds and succeed (letting pppd do its thing), but
that didn't work either.
Without the modem speaker I can't hear what's going on, either.
I'm pretty stumped :-(
Any help appreciated.
jas.
