It's good that we've got the subscription parameter sorted - without
outgoing data calls enabled, you really were sunk!

Set the computer <-> DC23 speed higher than 9600 if you can. Although
there's no V.42bis compression available on any UK cellular network to
my knowledge, it's probably still a good idea to run the serial port at
19200.

You should have no problem getting a 9600 data call up. Very early data
equipment sometimes only supported 2400, but that's not the issue here.

The 0171 number simply routes onto the COLT ROMP, IIRC. What may be
useful is to try the 0845 Cable and Wireless number (which I can't
remember), as it terminates on different equipment (3Com kit, rather
than Ascend kit).

<sigh> If Vodafone is anything to go by, it can take 30 seconds from the
first message (when the RLP link is up) to the second message (when the
call is connected end to end).

Have you got a list of AT commands for the Ericsson setup (in the
reference manual, maybe)? It would be useful to know the failure code
being returned by the network (found using AT+CEER on the Nokia 9000i).
Without this information, I'm out of ideas now.
