I bought a BT Speedway PCI ISDN card to run with Home Highway because I
knew it was Linux compatible.

Having got the beast home and compiled the appropriate bits into my
kernel (2.2.14 as supplied with Red Hat 6.2), the card was recognised
and it logs in /var/log/messages whenever there is an incoming call.  I
compiled it as "Fritz PCI/PnP" IIRC.  I also compiled in synchronous PPP
and the other stuff it told me to.

I can't get the bloody thing to negotiate properly with an ISP, I tested
it in windoze and it works perfectly, very fast and nice.  When I try it
in minicom (pointing to /dev/ttyI0) and set it up with at&e0 for the MSN
(as BT recommend for Home Highway) and then do atdxxx where xxx is the
number of an ISP (I have tried several) it just comes up "NO CARRIER".
I set it to HDLC for the layer 2 protocol and "trans" for the layer 3
protocol (IIRC again) and this time it goes "CONNECT 64000/HDLC" but
within a few seconds it disconnects with "NO CARRIER".

I have tested all the features of the card in windoze on the same
machine with it in the same slot and there is nothing wrong with either
the card or the machine.

In other words - HELP!

TIA,
