Gert? I think it's Linux specific and you can simply ignore it. I think the
answer is even somewhere in the FAQ or the mgetty docs.

No, I have enough of those logfiles now...

... I'm more interested in the initialization strings of the Windows
software. Can you somehow log the commands from the Windows software to the
modem? E.g. by plugging the serial modem port into a second serial port
(null modem cable) and starting a terminal program at the other end. I
think, that would actually give us a clue, what is going wrong here. I
wouldn't be surprised to see some not/different documented commands appear
there. As far as I can see, the Rockwell driver acts completely according to
the Rockwell documentation. But there must be something strange going on...

Bye,
Marc
