[hsflinux] Taicom Soft56K modem

[Julio Recalde]

I have a Taicom MR56PVS-RSI (HSF, softmodem, vendor ID 127A, device ID 2015,
revision ID 01) on an Asus A7A266-E motherboard and an Athlon 1500+
processor. I'm running Debian woody (kernel 2.4.18, self-compiled) and have
been trying to connect to my ISP for a week now. I've tryed with wvdial and
Debian's pppconfig, same result. The driver and the kernel modules install
perfectly, wvdialconf detects the modem and it's strings.
I've also tryed the acpi kernel patch (wasn't sure if i had to select an
speficif option in the configuration, though).
Here are wvdial's output with the last two versions of the drivers and
different options:

I apologize for the lenght of the message, but it's quite important for me
to get this box online under Linux here at the office. Any help, please?
