Hi, Hans,
I do not know the exact relation. The following is quota from the bug
tracking system (#56482):
---------------------begin---------------------
From: Ross Paterson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
...(del)...
The last line of /etc/init.d/setserial:
${SETSERIAL} -bg ${ALLDEVS}
examines all serial devices, even those that will be controlled by
pcmcia-cs. (It runs before /etc/init.d/pcmcia-cs does.) Somehow this
causes them to fail when pcmcia-cs takes over. Without this line,
the modem works.
...(del)...

You can browse the debian web for the details.
I am currently using potato (frozen) and got these upgraded package
by apt-get.
ii setserial 2.17-7 Controls configuration of serial ports.
ii ppp 2.3.11-1.1 Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) daemon.
ii pppconfig 2.0.4 A text menu based utility for configuring pp
ii pcmcia-cs 3.0.12-3 PCMCIA Card Services for Linux.
I hope these packages can solve your modem problem, too.
Best regards,
Jonathan Chang
