Hi,

I can't make ppp work with a Olitec 28800 pcmcia modem card on my Dell
Inspiron 2600 laptop under -current (1.6B).

The modem is detected as `com3' and i can dial my ISP using cu. But
the modem seems to be unreachable with the command `pppd call myisp'.

Jul  1 18:47:59 calamity pppd[260]: pppd 2.4.1 started by njoly, uid 0
Jul  1 18:48:00 calamity chat[262]: abort on (BUSY)

Here follow ppp config files :

root@calamity [~]# cat /etc/ppp/peers/myisp.chat 
ABORT BUSY

The modem part of dmesg :
