It was the trick. Thanks, I found it out just yesterday. Actually, I used
wvdial to dial in with kernel 2.2.18pre21. Under 2.4-benh, wvdial would say:
"modem does not respond" but I *had* compiled in mac serial support. Well, I
tried pppconfig in combination with pon/poff - and it worked! So, wvdial
seems not to work with the kernel 2.4 mac serial driver...
