pppconfig gave me "set modem manually" as the only option.

bingo:
tty00 at somehex1 (irq = 15) is a Z8530 ESCC; port = modem
tty01 at somehex2 (irq = 16) is a Z8530 ESCC; port = printer

tried tty00 and tty01.  no luck.
so I wrote a simple script that tried ttyS* tty0* cua* to no avail.

the modem is on.
the modem is plugged in to the line.
the modem works well in macos.

what gives???
any help appreciated.
max.
