I have a problem using a modem card on an NEC Versa SX.
aux/pcmcia identified the card as a 3CCM156B.

I put that string in the modems[] array near the beginning of
/sys/src/9/pc/pcmciamodem.c  and re-compiled 9pcdisk

ip/ppp -f -u -b b115200 -p /dev/eia1 works OK -- I manually
talk to the modem to dial out, login in to the remote sw and
start ppp there and hit ^D.  I can then ping anybody, run ssh
to my Unix hosts, hget the weather forecast, etc.

But if I try the automatic style connection with
ip/ppp -f -b b115200 -p /dev/eia1 -s usernam:secret -t atdt95551234
I get nothing.  I don't even know if the phone line goes offhook.

I have the 0327 update and all subsequent updates through 0910.
Anyone have any ideas on this?

Thanks in advance,
