I don't know about the PAP problem, but if you're getting errors like
"serial port looped back", I can generally fix this one by power-cycling
the modem a couple of times.  It usually doesn't happen if I turn the
modem on while in MacOS and leave it on while booting NetBSD.

I hope this helps some.

Later.
