The modem giving us problems is a Sportster 28.8 faxmodem.  It worked in 
the 486 that died (NEC).  It also works in a third laptop (Toshiba)

We have two other working pcmcia modems that work in the Toshiba:
2400  and 57600.

These two modems work in this Compaq computer.  The 28.8K works in the 
other two computers but does not dial in this one.  No error messages 
about what is going on - is there some way to make eznet verbose?

At one address two of our internal modem cards will not dial out (kermit 
tells us no dialtone) unless you first tell them to go offhook before atdt 
with ath1, in eznet.conf (or in DOS with echo ath1 > com1).  Maybe there 
is a similarfix for this modem, which is nicer than the 2400.  I will try 
kermit with this one in linux.
