The modem is configured correctly (I can dial out manually). I've fooled around with /etc/modems and /etc/remote for 3 hours (using various setting of modem init/reset flags, as well as different settings in the modems file for things like 'intercommand_delay' and 'reset_delay'. Nothing seems to work. Is there any special config requirements that I should place onto my modem in order for tip to work. Once tip tries to start, after the reset timeouts I hear static on my modem and then get 5 consecutive messages 'timeout waiting for reply'. Then tip exits. I do not hear any dialtone or dialing. About 3 hours ago I did get one digit to dial, but by now I've totally forgotten the exact setup that I had at that time. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
