Hrmmm. I must have been more asleep than I thought.. :/ I am dialing out to my secondary ISP.
When modem is connected to the i386 box, I connect to the ISP, press 'enter' and get a login prompt. When modem is connected to the IPX, I connect to the ISP, press 'enter' and fail to get a login prompt. In both cases I am dialing out with the modem command ATDT<phone #> On the i386 I am using a Belkin serial modem cable. On the IPX I am using a (I THINK Interex) Mac modem cable.
