I use it, and it works for me.

Since this file is interpreted as a shell script, the space after the = might
be causing some problems.

You might forward that output, as well as relevent part of the log
file so that we might have more information to diagnose your problem.
On the surface, given the information you've provided, the configuration
looks close, except for the space after the '=' character.

There's the usual list of things to check:

If you are using hardware flow control, do you have a correct cable.

Do you have XON/XOFF flow control disabled in your modem and the modem
on the other end.

You might check the output of "netstat -s" and look for increasing
numbers of checksum errors.

Are you sure that the other end is configured and running properly;
that is, has it worked before for other people.
