[hsflinux] system freezes on connect with new drivers/debian 3.0

[James Stone]

Hi

I have been successfully running drivers for my modem on Mandrake 8.0 
(device: 14f1 2013) but have recently installed Debian 3 (woody).. I 
downloaded the latest tar.gz for the hsf linmodem drivers and compiled 
and installed them, having already compiled and installed a new kernel 
image and modules from the 2.4.18 source.

The modem is recognised fine and dials with wvdial.. I can hear the 
dialtone and the number dialing but when the sound stops, the computer 
freezes and I am forced to do a hard reset.  There is no log recorded as 
far as I can see in syslog.  The same thing happens whether I compile 
ppp as part of the kernel or as a module.

Any ideas what is going on?

Any help would be gratefully received by both me and my (now) rather 
mashed up filesystem.
