Here's another troubleshooting idea, Joe:

	Your distribution should include minicom.  It's pretty good at figuring
out which port (/dev/ttySx) has a modem, and it's great for issuing
simple AT commands.  this will let you verify that your modem is located
on the port you think it is, and that the modem is "working".

	At home (where I'm not, right now) I have an old modem-booklet with a
great listing of AT commands.  Maybe you'll have something similar
kicking around?  Or, surf the Web.  Or, maybe the minicom man-page?

	I think this would be an excellent first step - make sure the modem is
functional.

	-Gord
