Hi Debianicans.

Thanx to all!

It still doesn't work,
but the message is a different one now.
See the very end of this mail.

Although there is more to do to set up Debian,
it feels better than the more "commercial" distribs.

How ever anyone can tell this from that line ;-)

Here is what came out of "/var/log/messages" now,
using PAP (Besides: The whole thing works well under Win 2K):

Additionaly Tom Cook suggests to add ATL0 to the chat script.
How do I actually pass multiple AT commands to the init line:
Like this:

	ATM0 ATL0

or like this

	ATM0;ATL0

?
(I still have no clue what's going on,
I'm certainly not a power user ...)

Bye. (:-)
