Hey Mike, I tried without the init but same results as before, nothing goes
out on the 3rd Send AT.  I wasn't sure if that would work as I don't have
distinctive ring on my phone (the S41=1) but it didn't seem to matter.

I believe the groups are okay as I do seem to be able to access what I need,
I'm even trying to run cidbcast as root just to see if that works.  As far
as udev, I've never messed with that so I honestly don't know but I'm not
rebooting and the permissions are okay still.  I agree its something to do
with it not sending the init string, I've looked through the code but I
don't see any reason for it.  Is the latest cidbcast the one dated 9/13/03
still?  I looked in svn and it seemed to be dated the same.

thanks again,
Ben
