[newbie] Modem Troubles!

[Donny]

Hey everyone! Im having some terrible modem problems! My modem recently got fried by lightning... and the new one i got to replace it, turned out to be a plug-n-play modem.   Well, i got the latest version (1.8) of ISAPNP. Linux sees my modem (i think). IM using KPPP to dial up my ISP, but when it initializes the modem withthe string ATZ, it waits for the response OK... it never gets it. I can go edit the modem commands, and take out the "OK" response. Now it passes the initialization, and starts to dial out. After it finishes dialing and connection, it stops at "waiting for response: CONNECT"   PLEASE HELP! Whats the problem? Are the responses set wrong? Or is it something else? Thanks for your time!
