Have you told the telit module to turn on and what is the status of L3 on the FOXGM board ? By default the module is powered off you need to either momentarily short the pads for S1 or send the following setbits commands # setbits -p b -b 7 -s 1 # setbits -p b -b 7 -s 0 Once you have done that L3 should blink quite fast for a while and then a bit more slowly (meaning that the SIM is registered on the mobile network) after that the module should respond on ttyS2 Personally I wrap this all up in a connect script..so it issues the setbits commands waits a while and then runs ppp-start. I know there is a better way of asking the modem if it is ready or not but I haven't investigated this properly.
