Out of curiousity, did you properly set up the modem with isapnptools, and
then use setserial to set the irq, port, and everything?

i would be inclined to agree. minicom is a good tool for this problem (and
it can be fun to make your modem jump through hoops ;)
i discovered that mine (a 3Com) will return a small bit of help with AT$,
ATD$, or ATS$. And i was able to fine-tune my init string so it didn't
dial so loudly and would dial faster. And i found out which line in
ppp.log will give my connection speed.
