OK, I mounted my mac partition and got the init string, but sadly it didn't work.

I'm not using a dialer, though, I'm just using 'pon' and editing /etc/chatscripts/provider. Also, my modem works on my old phone line just not the new one. I also changed the script to *not* look for CONNECT, but instead to just pause 10 seconds and succeed (letting pppd do its thing), but that didn't work either. Without the modem speaker I can't hear what's going on, either. I'm pretty stumped :-( Any help appreciated. jas.
