Try the system logs in /var/log/messages and by using "dmesg" for more
information. The mwave requires kernel modules to work correctly.  Did you
build those? (This might not be the cause of your error, but it's a place
to start.)

If the modem is starting up properly, you should see stuff like this in
your system logs:

If he's got a 600 as he said in his previous posts, he's using the right
drivers.  The original 600 comes with an mwave.
