IT WORKED!! (Well, sorta ...) I couldn't find my manual (only the manual for an old SupraExpress), so I had to try your init string "blindly". AT&F&B1 didn't work, so I tried AT&F&C1&D2&B1 - and IT WORKED! Unfortunately, my "system adminstrator" (the guy at the Linux Users' Group who helped me set up my system) has my Debian box set up as a DHCP (sp?) server (so that I can log into my Debian box from my iBook using the "Connect to Server" in the Finder) so I wan't immediately able to use the connection (at least, I believe the DHCP server settings were the problem). I'll have to contact the "system administrator" about what to do now, but it definitely did log into my ISP. I could kiss you, WW! Thanks so much!
