try running 'minicom' (assuming you are using YDL. Debian does not have this
program installed by default). If this works fine and you can send your
modem AT commands from minicom, then the modem works fine and you are
suffering from a "opening serial port/modem delay" problem common to
post-2000? powerbooks and ibooks. Setting the pre- and post- init delays in
kppp to a longer time or writing some chat scripts will solve that problem.

Subject: kernel and modem
I'm running a 2.2.19 kernel on my iMac and everything is working well.
However, I would like to switch to a 2.4 kernel (for example to be able to
use my CD-burner)
I downloaded the latest BenH iMac kernel (vmlinux-2.4.19-pre3-ben0) and
installed it all right, but the modem won't work any more.
I'm quite surprised, because it is supposed to be a specifically
iMac-targeted kernel, and it claims to have modem support...
Am I missing something? do I have to load a module, link /dev/modem to
something else, ...
Thank you for your help,
Matthieu
