Hi James
I had the same problem and it stopped when I changed the connection speed
setting to 115200 (I think), dont ask me why.
I can now get the modem to dial and make a connection with my ISP but
Netscape refuses to resolve any addresses--- so I still have to use Windows
for my internet connection until I can get Linux to work properly. I have
just upgraded to Mandrake 6.0, RedHat %.2 worked fine!
Regards
Alan
