Disabled, but I switched it to Com 4 IRQ 3 and it is working better now

It's not.  I can set the hardware.

I have /dev/modem linked to /dev/ttyS3

Switched back to KDE from Gnome, just in case...

<snip out init strings> 


OK, now the point where it stops is the dialing process.  The modem has
been moved to COM4, irq 3 and when I query it, information pops up in
the ATI commands (which didn't happen before). When I click connect (the
account information is in there...) it sets volume and initializes then
goes to dial.  I hear one click but then I do not *hear* it dialing.  It
just seems to try to keep on dialing, no further.  Does this indicate
here that I need to play with the init strings?

This seems to be the hardest thing that I have encountered with linux. 
I will feel so much better when this modem issue is resolved!
