That _could_be_ a baud rate mis-match - but it's nearly impossible to say.

This may not be relevant, but I read something in a modem howto about Rockwell modems needing a driver for compression that isn't available for Linux. I don't know how to test the modem to see what's going on.

What options are you using to pppd?

/usr/sbin/pppd -detach user YAD \
connect "/usr/sbin/chat -vs -f /etc/ppp/mychatscript" &

(btw, chat -vs produces very nice output for debugging)

mychatscript:
"" "AT&FH0&C0"

No.

That depends. 1. See that the modem is initialized to sane values. 2. I'm
pretty sure that Rockwell used the "Hayes standard" 'return to command mode'
sequence (a second of no data, three plus symbols, and another second of no
data - then hang up with 'ATH0' and reset the modem to sanity with 'AT&F0').

It doesn't seem to need the no-data intervals. It kept hanging up when the +'s and ATH were embedded together in my outgoing message.

Where can I read up on this? It all looks like some sort of Wiccan code to me.
