[NTLK] Hang while loading PPP Driver

I just got a new cell phone without IR, so I am trying to switch from Eck's hacked NIE back to the standard one.
I removed the hacked NIE and downloaded NIE 2.0 and the setup program from UNNA and rebooted the Newt. I created a new Serial setup, with a login script that has a beep as the first step. All of my apps (SimpleMail, Courier, Newtscape) hang while "Loading PPP Driver", without a beep.
I think that all of the packages are present, because they were there for the IR version, and because NIE does not complain about missing packages.
I tried using PT100 to connect to the phone, and it works fine with the same serial settings, so it is not a serial port or cable problem.
I do have an ethernet card installed, but I tried removing it and the Farallon driver, but it did not help.
Any ideas?

Eric
