Anyone got one of these red, external modem-beasties?
I bought one the other day, and it *seems* to work under
Mandrake, but it isn't dialing the right number I believe.
Whenever I try connect I get a lovely Tel$tra
message about  "The number you have dialed is incorrect or
incomplete".  I had the same prob under Win98, but setting the
COM port and the modem to the same speed solved that.
I tried similar things under under Linux like:
1) setting kppp to 9600 which is what /dev/ttyS0 was set at.

2) or kppp connecting at 115,200, and
"setserial -ispeed (and -ospeed) 115200 /dev/ttyS0"

3) Repeat for gnome-ppp
The modem is capable of 115200 throughput, and /dev/modem 
reports the same as /dev/ttyS0.
Watching the debug window, it was sending the right commands, and said that it was 
dialing the right number, even tried the
manufacturers alternate INIT string.
Googling turned up nada...
Anyone got a cluestick? Direct replies please, I'm on slug-digest.
TIA

Steve
