Hello I've got further today than I have all week. I found a generic driver on a French web site that I found this morning. I got it to work at last and ran the wvdialconf command. at first it said that it couldn't write to the config file because it was busy. I tried a few variations of the wvdialconf command and eventually got it to work by typing /usr/bin/wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf that worked and I edited the file. I ran wvdial but it said that it couldn't find the right phone number, user name or password. I updated cron and found a file called wvdial.conf~ but when I try to edit it in emacs it tells me that the buffer is read only. I tried to rename the wvdial.conf file to wvdial.conf~ but that didn't work either. Can any one help? I was under the impression that if I used the line wvdialconf /usr/bin/wvdialconf it would edit the /etc/wvdial.conf config file. Darragh P.S. I've found somewhere that I should use touch /etc/wvdial.conf to create the file /etc/wvdial.conf to allow wvdialconf to edit it. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Shaun Oliver" <shaun_oliver@optusnet.com.au> To: <blinux-list@redhat.com> Sent: Tuesday, August 27, 2002 11:30 AM Subject: Re: Connecting to the Internet ; editing LIO; setting up the sound card > ok, I'll conceed that point, > given that I use slackware, I'd have to recompile my kernel but in any > case, it would give him good kernel building practise. > you've got to learn sometime unless something breaks. > besides does red hat allow for speakup, I know that bill acker might > maintain a kernel image for the athlon but I won't be quoted on it unless > I'm proved to be wrong. > > > -- > Shaun Oliver > > > In a world without fences > and walls who needs Windows and Gates? > > EMAIL: shaun_oliver@optusnet.com.au > ICQ: 76958435 > > > > > _______________________________________________ > > Blinux-list@redhat.com > https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/blinux-list >
