I wanted to reply to your mail. I'm sorry that I'm only replying now.
I think your problem might be related to the ++ATH0 command thing. ++ is
the command used to make your modem listen for command and ATH0 makes your
modem hangup, so if the data ++ATH0 goes over a modem line it might
disconnect. This usually only happens with buggy modems.

This is pretty weird.

kdebug prints everything that is sent over the line. ^^^^^^^^

kdebug does that.
