Baycom problem

Hi,

I'm having problems getting my baycom modem to work with linux.
I'm using RedHat 5.0 with kernel 2.0.31, I patched the kernel and
managed to compile the utils (ax25-utils-2.1.42a). I'm using the
net-tools supplied with RH 5.0 (net-tools-1.33-4).

When i use the call command the modem stays dead and the computer keeps
trying to make a connection. The listen command shows nothing when there
is activity on the frequency.

The baycom modem works fine with ms-dos and when i use a soundcard modem
with Linux, it also works. Only the baycom modem won't work.

Does anybody know what i'm doing wrong?
