I got this error very often when I edited the config.modem - file and
have done wrong configuration. You´re sure you didn´t edit the 
original config-file of elsa-microlink modems? Alread tested the 
config-file from www.elsa.com homepage ?
After you´ve tested all, send your results of your tests and 
send your config.modem-file to this list. 

I hope I here from you soon.
