Unfortunately you didn't tell us which release of FAS you use. I'll
assume that it is 2.06 (the latest one).

>From your dialers file I'd suspect that you have result codes enabled
even if getty is on the port. Try to set your EEPROM parameters to disable
result codes by default (`ATQ1'). But then you have to enable it wherever
you need it (`ATQ0'), in your dialers file for instance. The problem here
is that the modem result string may confuse getty.

Did you check the gettydefs file? Maybe the port isn't set up with the
proper flags.

Please tell us when you got it working.

attempt to post a followup to your article ended in `dead.article'. :-(
