When I type "pon" there is a 'long' wait before I hear the modem starts dialing. (When I type "poff" however, the connection is instantaneously cut off). I guess it is not "pon" itself that is the trouble, but rather the connect-script.
My problem is that I am running a little lan, and we have diald running. However, since the script connect so slow, users have to continue to try connecting a few times before diald manages to get the line up. I seem to remember there where some options to speed up the connection-process (dial the number quicker and stuff) but I have forgotten how to do it -- it's a few years since I last had a modem...
