The modules were loaded by rc.  Next time I booted with this kernel it 
worked.  (I think it took 3 tries).  Ioften need to dial 2-3 times with 
BL3 before it connects.  On one modem (external) BL3 won't ever connect.
BL2  always works (tho I need to set it to 57600 for the 56K external 
modem, which won't dial at all with BL3 or DOS).

Ithink a newer pppd might help here, for BL3.

You may have a better modem or better phone connection than I do.  It is 
not the ISP, because sometimes it won't even try to dial.  BL2 pppd can 
handle all my modmes, which isthe first thing that impressed me about it.
