Well, both units have exactly the same internet setup (I did a backup
& restore to copy it) which doesn't include a login script (this ISP
does PAP/CHAP). Additional experiments seems to really confirm that
the board is involved.

It was only the -60015.
Well, at first, I tried with SimpleMail, so I got no error code. But
then, to know more about it, I tried Internet Setup Picker and it
always said -60015. Even when I set the login to something that
shouldn't work (I didn't get the -6008X error that means that l/p is
wrong).

I have open my two units and done the following experiments this morning:
primary unit without the board: works
secondary unit with the board, either via dongle or directly: -60015
Please note that I'm 100% satisfied with the SER board. I tried the
keyboard once, it worked, and I use the serial port with Hammer or
NTK, it works like a charm (well, Hammer is still full of bugs :). I
never connected my Newton to the modem since I got the board except
yesterday.
The modem is an olitec Self Memory 2000
(http://www.olitec.com/pub/fself2.pdf). The modem settings is 28.8
and faster (tried with 14.4 settings, didn't help).
Please tell me if I can help further.
