[Techtalk] mdk 9.0 and thinkpad modem

[iriXx]

hi all... long time no see!

just installed mandrake 9.0, which rocks... except maybe for some 
struggles i've had with devfs and sound... uhh.... not fun..
anyhow... the one thing i cant get working at all is my modem.
im using a TP 600E, running the mwave modem from ibm.com

the module compiles fine, loads okay, and starts fine too. everything 
seems in order with devices... but when i use kppp to dial, it gets as 
far as 'modem ready', 'initialising modem' and then freezes instead of 
going on to dial the number of my ISP...

has anyone seen this happen or know if i've missed something vital?

thankx in advance

m~
