Are you using the same cable for both? Does the macII cable have the
line for DTR?

At any rate, I have seen this before. The modem does not pay attention
to the presence of DTR until it is CONNECTed, then it hangs up on
absence of DTR. It was the cable in *my* case.

Of course you may be able to configure it not to care about DTR.
