HSF modem picks up line but Does Not Dial

Hi,

I've got an HSF (conexant modem):
>From ModemData.txt (scanModem)
Class 0780: 14f1:2f10   Communication controller: Conexant: Unknown
device 2f10 (rev 01)
  SubSystem 16ec:2013  U.S. Robotics: Unknown device 2013

and loaded the linuxant (HSF) driver.

Using KInternet, my modem picks up the line (I hear the dial tone on the
internal speaker) when given atdt1234
(1234 as example, or whichever number I have to dial). The modem does
not proceed to actually dial the number given, but times out giving the
message "No Carrier"
I have tried it with and without "Detect Dial Tone" selected through
YaST (Suse 9.3)

I have also tried dialing out using kppp's Mini-Terminal. I can get the
modem to pick up the line, but nothing else.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Regards

Rudi Siegling

The process waits right after:
pppd[0]: --> Modem initialized.
pppd[0]: --> Sending: ATDT8628895
pppd[0]: --> Waiting for carrier.
pppd[0]: ATDT8628895 
then timeouts with then next line
pppd[0]: NO CARRIER

Below is the log generated by KInternet.
