I have debian/woody release up and running on my powerpc. I would like to get my modem working with linux; it works with the MacOS ppp. I have two problems: minicom doesn't work (lacks an include .h file - likely debian doesn't include this in the proper directory) and I don't know how to use chat. So either way, I'm sunk.

All I ask is a simple dialout chat script to check that the lights flash and the external modem picks up hook. I can write the perl wrapper to cycle through the /dev/ttyS*... that is unless anyone knows which /dev/ port the modem connects through on a mac.

Did you try running pppconfig? Now it is possible that on a modern mac the modem is a software modem (aka winmodem style), but I really have no idea. The ibook3 apparently uses a conexant software modem chip, which works OK with the appropriate non free drivers installed. Perhaps output of lspci would help identify the modem.
