Could it be that the modem init string is in some config file and is 
allowing the modem to operate silently?  minicom has its own init string 
so it might work while chat doesn't.

169.254/16 is similar to RFC 1918 addresses (non-routable) but is used 
to allow machines to guess an IP if they don't get one by a static entry 
or DHCP.

I've never liked the way RH did network config, but it's all in 
/etc/sysconfig if you can trace your way through.  Do you have a gateway 
defined in whichever file in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts defines the 
IP address?  I assume eth0 is getting the right IP address.

I have a RH 9 system I can look at but I don't know how much it will help.
