Something still isn't right. The /etc/wvdial.conf file and the 'sudo wvdial' terminal log are attached. As for the "Name, password pair incorrect" message, the name and password in /etc/wvdial.conf are the same used by my WinXP dialer. The last set of messages repeats until the terminal window is closed.

Dave,
First, congratulations for having read scanModem and done the right thing. But please let me verify one detail: have you stopped slmodemd with CTRL-C before trying to connect? slmodemd must be left active in its own console/terminal/window/xterm/you_name_it. In your place, because wvdial is much better at debugging than other dialers, I would, in an additional console, once slmodemd is running, launch sudo wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf
If wvdialconf finds your modem, your modem works.
Then, edit the file /etc/wvdial.conf
Make sure that you have a line
Carriage Check = no
Remove the leading ; in the username, password and phone number lines.
Replace the complete placeholders ( < > suppressed!) by your parameters.
Save
Now run    sudo wvdial
and if you cannot work send us the file /etc/wvdial.conf WITH PASSWORD ERASED and the text spilled out by the console where you started wvdial .

I have a new Ubuntu installation in a Dell M675X laptop, and have not been able to determine how to make the winmodem work. I ran scanModem, and the results are attached. This is a copy of the terminal log of what I did after looking at the results of scanModem:

   modem `modem:1' created. TTY is `/dev/pts/2'
   Use `/dev/ttySL0' as modem device, Ctrl+C for termination.
   dave@dave-GatewayU:~$

Upon navigating to the Modem connection Interface properties window and clicking the _A_utodetect button, no modem can be found. If the modem port is set to /dev/ttySL0, the modem connection cannot be activated. If the modem port is set to /dev/ttyS0, the modem connection can be activated, but the ISP is still not dialed.

What have I not done or done wrong?

 It will enrich the Archive and help others!
 -------------------------------------------
Lacking a dsp (digital signal processing) chip, the modem is a software intensive or "softmodem" type. Its primary controller manages the traffic with the CPU. But the software needed is specified in the Subsystem.
 -----------------------------------------
Support type needed or chipset:    slmodemd

An ALSA (Advanced Linux Sound Architecture) modem driver: snd-intel8x0m
 provides Low Level support enabling contact with the modem hardware.
 For all BUT Conexant chip soft modems (using hsfmodem software)
complementary High Level support is through a Smartlink utility: slmodemd

Download from http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/smartlink/ the package SLMODEMD.gcc4.tar.gz having a compiled slmodemd. Unpack under Linux with:
     $ tar zxf SLMODEMD.gcc4.tar.gz
and read instructions therein. But briefly, the modem is setup with command: sudo slmodemd -c YOUR_COUNTRY --alsa modem:1 reporting dynamic creation of ports:
    /dev/ttySL0 --> /dev/pts/N   , with N some number
Read Smartlink.txt and Modem/YourSystem.txt for follow through guidance.

Writing Intel.txt
Writing Smartlink.txt

 Completed candidate modem analyses.

 The base of the UDEV device file system is: /dev/.udev

The kernel was compiled with gcc version 4.0.3 and a compiler is not installed


If compiling a modem driver proves to be necessary, one of the two procedures must be followed.
If not yet on the Internet, put the Dapper install CD in the drive
Open a terminal and therein:
$ sudo apt-get install  gcc-4.0  make
Additionally the package linux-headers-2.6.15-23-386 must be downloaded. Go to http://packages.ubuntu.com/ and search for linux-headers-2.6.15-23-386 After downloading, it can be installed with:
$ sudo dpkg -i linux-header*.deb

Or alternatively if online through Ethernet do:
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install build-essential
will do all the necessary installations mentioned above.

In either installation case, set a symbolic link which will be expected later:
$ sudo ln -s /usr/bin/gcc-4.0  /usr/bin/gcc
After check with:
$ ls -l /usr/bin/gcc*
which should display:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 2006-07-09 21:53 /usr/bin/gcc -> /usr/bin/gcc-4.0
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 93584 2006-04-20 18:22 /usr/bin/gcc-4.0
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 16245 2006-04-20 18:13 /usr/bin/gccbug-4.0

 Kernel-header resources needed for compiling are not manifestly ready!

 If compiling is necessary packages must be installed, providing:
    gcc-4.0 make linux-headers-2.6.15-23-386


Checking pppd properties:
    -rwsr-xr-- 1 root dip 257720 2006-02-23 10:33 /usr/sbin/pppd

In case of an "error 17" "serial loopback" problem, see:
    http://phep2.technion.ac.il/linmodems/archive-sixth/msg02637.html

To enable dialout without Root permission do:
    $ su - root  (not for Ubuntu)
        sudo chmod a+x /usr/sbin/pppd
or under Ubuntu related Linuxes
    sudo chmod a+x /usr/sbin/pppd

Read Modem/YourSystem.txt concerning other COMM channels: eth0
Which can interfere with Browser naviagation.

 Don't worry about the following, it is for the experts
 should trouble shooting be necessary.
