Same problem here. Recently, somebody on the list reported a limited
success on this one (take a look at the list's archives from the last
week or so), albeit on an older version of the machine.

Me on my other hand faced exactly the same behaviour as the one you
report. The only exception is that kppp will find a modem on
/dev/ttyS1.

For the record, I have also read older reports claiming that the tibook
modem is a software one and it will likely never work under Linux.
