[hcflinux] No modem access in Suse 8.1 Konsole

[David Lister]

I am using the hcfpcimodem-0.98mbsibeta02101002-1.i386.rpm driver with 
Suse8.1.

The modem is a Diamond SupraExpress.

There are no problems whatsoever. wvdial works every time.

I have been attempting to set up PPP manually  (in addition to using 
wvdial). I can connect to one of my ISPs with Minicom, exiting without 
resetting and then entering pppd at the shell prompt. I am able to 
browse with Mozilla using this connection.

I am now trying to automate the processs - chatscripts etc. I have found 
that I cannot access the modem fromKonsole (or any other  Suse Terminal) 
. Chat seems to be working, but the process doesn't get as far as 
actually dialling out - the log shows the following:

                                                                 timeout 
set to 3 seconds

I have tried different initialization strings.

I will appreciate any ideas.
