I posted in the middle part of January about my neighbour's external modem that wouldn't dial out and failed with "NO CARRIER". This was running under Progeny Debian.
The latest development is that we have discovered that it will dial when running in Single User mode on his machine but not otherwise.
It will also work perfectly on my machine running either Debian 2.2 or the same version of Progeny that I've installed on his machine and with a simple ATZ initialisation string.
Does this give any clues as to why it won't work on his machine?
All advice gratefully received.
