OK I figured this thing out to the point where I can get it to dial.. but now I can't
get it to log in... gives me the following from the log:

OK.. with much trial and error, I think I got my PC to
detect my PCMCIA modem.. it "beeps" anyway when I
insert and remove the modem, which is more than the
"device busy" I got before. However, now as soon as it

I'll cross my fingers and see how it works out ;)

Well, now that I've got the PCMCIA issue figured out, I'm having trouble
