Subject: no dialtone problem

Hello,
My cable television company is also offering me telephone service. They
installed a Motorola modem and a telephone set (connected to the modem)
for this (in addition to a different cable modem for internet service).
I was trying to dial out now over that telephone line.
I do :
set line /dev/ttyS1
set speed 19200
set modem type zoom
dial <number>
which results in the Motorola telephone<->cable modem doing two clicks,
short after another, and then I get a no dial tone. I've tried dialing
out with set dial ignore-dialtone but this makes no difference. I've
tried both pulse and tone dialing.
With the telephone set on the other hand, that they installed for me,
when the telephone goes off the hook, I can hear the Motorola doing only
single click (and then indeed, I do hear a dialtone).
So setup is : cable <-> motorola modem <-> zoom pcmcia modem <->
computer
Any suggestions on what commands I could issue to kermit to make this
work ?
I've been thinking that maybe I should somehow connect the motorola
modem directly to my computer, but it only has "power", "coax" and
"telephone RJ-11" connectors, it seems.
Sorry, I have no idea what type of modem etc. this is. Their support
site has no info on this.
