See if there are any that suggest - what's the word? - generic-ness. Eg. I have a script for a 56k modem that has the word "generic" in it. You might need something like this for your 33K one. Perhaps try FreePPP as your connection software, I think it has some initialisation features to it. You also can alter the strings to do with port speed, flow control, dial type, modem init string settings. Maybe worth fiddling with these if you have no luck with some other script. You might have to dig around and collect a few modem scripts, there are sites that list such scripts... a fiddle, 56K modems are pretty cheap...
