[hsflinux] Modem works, but doesn't connect ( NO CARRIER)

[Linuxant support (Jonathan)]

Hi,

it sounds like an handshaking problem. Please try with each of the 
following init. string, hopefully one of them will solve the problem.

---
AT &F W1 +ER=1; +DR=1; +MS=V90,0
AT &F W1 +ER=1; +DR=1; +MS=V90,1
AT &F W1 +ER=1; +DR=1; +MS=V34,0
AT &F W1 +ER=1; +DR=1; +MS=V34,1
AT &F W1 +ER=1; +DR=1; +MS=V32B,0
AT &F W1 +ER=1; +DR=1; +MS=V32B,1
AT &F W1 +ER=1; +DR=1; +MS=V32,0
AT &F W1 +ER=1; +DR=1; +MS=V32,1

Please note that these init. strings will only work if you have a valid 
license installed and some of them might not work even if you have a 
valid license installed.

Finally, for the problem setting the country, you are using an 
unsupported way to install the driver (using a package from the Mandriva 
Club repository) and it is quite possible that if you use an official 
package of the HSF modem driver available at:

http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/hsf/full/downloads.php

you will not have this problem.
