Andrew,
It looks like you're almost there.  Are you trying to manually run the
start script?  What happens when you run '/etc/rc.d/init.d/mwaved
start'?  Have you installed "minicom" on your notebook?  If not, you may
want to.  I've found it useful in determining that the modem is
working.  Are you using mwavem-1.0.3?  Can you have a look at
/var/log/messages to see what other bits are being logged, and if
possible, would you post the relevent bits to the list?
