Well.. for a starter.. there is not much information here for us to go
on; apart from that it aint work.

Step 1 -> test if the card is recognized and there.

	boot the machine, log in as root; type 'pccardd', wait
	5 seconds, plug in the card and send us the output 
	of 'dmesg' approx 10 seconds after you plugged
	in the card.

	The last few lines should say something like
	
	sio1 at port XXXX... 
	sio4: type 16550A

Step 2 -> test the modem

	if the above is 'sio5' then check that there is
	a /dev/cuaa5 with

		cd /dev
		ls cuaa*

	If it is not there, make one

		sh MAKEDEV cuaa5

	Then edit /etc/remote and add a line

		modem:dv=/dev/cuaa5:br#9600:pa=none:

	Then do 

		man tip
			read up on how to exit !

	and try

		tip modem

	and then do

		AT

	the modem should respond with
	
		OK

	Then you can try things like 'ATDT123' to get confidence
	that the modem is fine.

Then follow the 'userland PPP' section in the handbook from here.
If this fails.. preserve or mail us the _output_ of what goes wrong
so we can see what the problem is :-)
