To see if the interface comes up, use ifconfig -a and see if ppp0 has
a reasonable IP address. Does the modem dial?

For debugging, look in /etc/syslog.conf. There should be a "*.local2"
line, and all debugging messages will go to the file at the end of that
line.

This is a volinteer effort. You get what you pay for. ;-)

Good. You have your modem string.

Take care,
