If it works for minicom, check the initstring there
and add it to the chat string
'"" ATZ OK ATDT1235 and so on"
and add it to the chat string
'"" ATZ OK ATDT1235 and so on"
are you using xwindows..... if you do... it's easier to setup

Try start the X windows, open the Linuxconf, There is a lot of options u can setup your linux. There is a PPP/SLIP/PLIP setup, click and enter your dial up information, phone no, username, password...etc and click the button to connect or disconnect.
