Thanks to all the people who sent mail saying read the man pages!!!
What a complete waste of bandwidth. If you read the above, its clear I
know how to use stty and setserial to config a serial port.

Anyway, no-one's came up with any answers, but I'd like to add this:
I did a RedHat 4.1 install on a spare disk which I stuck in my machine
just for the install. Curiously, using exactly the same setserial and
stty commands - the modem works fine - discuss????

Paul.
