[hcflinux] Dialling ISP

[Elwyn Campbell]

Hi,
 
I'm trying to set up RH 9 to dial my isp using my hcf/riptide modem.
 
I have successfully installed the drivers via the rpms and the riptide
driver as well (job well done - it was really easy to install, thanks!). 

The ISP has been set up via network settings but when I acually dial the
number, the dialtone continues even though I can hear the modem's
dialtones for the ISP's number. Consequently, the line times out and
never gets through to the ISP. Obvously the carrier is not detecting the
number being dialled. 
 
Are there any suggestions for getting around this? I am using an
australian carrier if that makes any difference.
 
thanks,
 
Elwyn
