Machine dropout from modem?



Using Debian Etch,
Acer 3614WLCi laptop
Maestro Woomera modem through a USB to RS232 cable.

The modem is connected to the ISP but the system has dropped off the modem 
connection.

The modem shows it's connected and yet the laptop isn't connected to it. I try 
to run "pon" again. Nothing. I try "poff" It tells me there is no connection 
running.

I manually switch off the modem, switch it on again, the modem tells me it's 
intelligent. I type "pon" into a terminal, and the modem says dialling, and 
does so and connects again. The lappy picks it up, and is again connected.

Something to do with PPP in Etch?

Would appreciate any help.

TIA,
Charlie
