Is either windows or linux sending an initialization string to the
modem before it dials?
It's possible the modem defaults to .us tones & windows is switching
it to .uk, or it defaults to .uk and linux is switching to .us (or
maybe .de if it's suse 8-)
If you've got the problem with a freshly powered up modem & manually
dialling the first is more likely than the second.
