I've just obtained a WeRoam kit which includes a Sierra Wireless
AirCard 775 and am trying to get it to work on my Gentoo laptop.  I've
managed to configure the AirCard to the point that I can access it and
send AT commands to it using Minicom, but after this I'm essentially
stuck.  I have the following files:

/etc/ppp/peers/weroam:

-detach
/dev/ttyS0
57600
debug
defaultroute
usepeerdns
user [EMAIL PROTECTED]
show-password
crtscts
lock
connect '/usr/sbin/chat -v -t3 -f /etc/ppp/peers/weroam.chat'

/etc/ppp/peers/weroam.chat:

'' AT
OK AT+cgdcont=1,"IP","weroam"
OK AT+CSQ
OK ATD*99#
CONNECT ''

These are essentially the sample scripts provided in the Sierra
wireless site [1], with the APN and the like changed.

When I try to connect, this is what happens in the log:

NO CARRIER huh...  Any hints out there from the other folks who have
managed to get WeRoam to work on GNU/Linux?
