Did you tell it to dial pulse by starting the phone number with P?

For the log:
eznet log
or (same result)
less /var/eznet/transcript.0

Use a terminal program after exiting your connection and type the ati0, 
ati1, etc. commands.  For USR, ati6 tells your previous connections speeds 
(up and down).  Don't recall what other makers use.

I forget how to do this with minicom.
