I am suitably amazed!
My neighbour recently looked at the US Robotics site and there was apparently a place to post details of problems. The amazing part is that Linux was in the operating systems listed.
He has posted a query and I'm going to wait now to see what response he gets before taking this any further.
Many thanks to all those who offered help. I may be back.
Now a warning!
I am in the process of updating my machine based on a Tyan Tomcat main board with twin 233MHz Pentium processors.
The new version will be based on a Tyan K7 Thunder with twin Athlon 1.3GHz processors in an Antec full tower case. It will still be running the 3 SCSI hard drives from the old machine.
I am having some problems with it but I have not yet given up trying to solve them myself. I may need to bend a few (email) ears in the foreseeable future.

Instant, huh? Sounds like something isn't waiting for the modem to answer before trying to send more data. Can you post your /etc/chatscripts/provider (or whatever you're using instead) please?
