Do you need any special chat scripts or anything for your provider?  What kind of modem do you have, and is it plain serial or USB?  Any idea if it responds to the "AT+GCAP" or "ATI" command using minicom?

No, I don't need any special chat scripts for my provider

I have a Zoom external 56k v.92/v.90 serial faxmodem.

The modem responds to the "ATI" command, but since I've never really used the "AT+GCAP" command with any of my modems I don't know if it works, but since this Zoom external modem is a v.92 I suspect it does.

This is how my modem is initialized if it helps..(cut and pasted from /var/log//messages)
