Anyone else got a non-working GSM modem?

[andy selby]

I tried to connect to the GSM modem but the terminal prompt hung on
the 'connected' signal, I followed the instructions in bug 256
http://bugzilla.openmoko.org/cgi-bin/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=256 to
no avail, the advice was to type the commands on two different
consoles so I opened up two ssh sessions into the phone from my pc but
that didn't work.
I'm using uImage-2.6.21.6-moko10-r1_0_0_2388_0-fic-gta01.bin and
openmoko-devel-image-fic-gta01-20070728230649.rootfs.jffs2 from
chooseopen.com.
