I think I just sorted this out.  Thanks for the advice, Jonathan;
hearing that it *might* not be a hardware problem pushed me to
twiddle the knobs a little longer.

Following a note in a man page (I think a Debian page, but don't
quote me) I had commented out the loopback interface.  Not
necessary with 2.2.x kernels, it said.  Not so, as it turns out.
All smiles now.

Now if I can just get the home machine's modem to respond
to Hayes commands ...

Cheers
Frank
