Thanks, that worked, and confirmed what i'd begun to suspect. I've also had a rummage in the source code to see what it's doing.

With careful use of minicom it turns out that the modem software in the Palm device doesn't respond to the first AT command, but after a second command it returns two OK responses - the first response gets delayed for some reason. NM doesn't appear to allow any retries in its exchanges, unlike chat scripts which can deal with this kind of thing.

So it's a bug in the Palm - I'll have to chase it up with the authors.

Cheers, Rick
