Hi, I'm having another go at getting online with dailup & would appreciate any advice. My modem driver is stored here & this location is now added to my executable path (thanks to advice earlier this month) /usr/sbin/slmodemd 1. execute driver: fiona@spiral:~$ sudo slmodemd -c UK --alsa hw:0,6 SmartLink Soft Modem: version 2.9.11 Feb 15 2007 23:08:19 symbolic link `/dev/ttySL0' -> `/dev/pts/1' created. modem `hw:0,6' created. TTY is `/dev/pts/1' Use `/dev/ttySL0' as modem device, Ctrl+C for termination. 2. create wvdial config file: fiona@spiral:~$ sudo wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf Password: Editing `/etc/wvdial.conf'. Scanning your serial ports for a modem. Modem Port Scan<*1>: S0 S1 S2 S3 WvModem<*1>: Cannot get information for serial port. ttySL0<*1>: ATQ0 V1 E1 -- OK ttySL0<*1>: ATQ0 V1 E1 Z -- OK ttySL0<*1>: ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 -- OK ttySL0<*1>: ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 -- OK ttySL0<*1>: ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 -- OK ttySL0<*1>: ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0 -- OK ttySL0<*1>: Modem Identifier: ATI -- SmartLink Soft Modem ttySL0<*1>: Speed 4800: AT -- OK ttySL0<*1>: Speed 9600: AT -- OK ttySL0<*1>: Speed 19200: AT -- OK ttySL0<*1>: Speed 38400: AT -- OK ttySL0<*1>: Speed 57600: AT -- OK ttySL0<*1>: Speed 115200: AT -- OK ttySL0<*1>: Speed 230400: AT -- OK ttySL0<*1>: Speed 460800: AT -- OK ttySL0<*1>: Max speed is 460800; that should be safe. ttySL0<*1>: ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0 -- OK Found a modem on /dev/ttySL0.

Edit wvdail.conf This how my file now looks: [Dialer Defaults] Modem = /dev/ttySL0 Init1 = ATZ Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 X3 &D2 +FCLASS=0 Stupid mode = on Modem Type = Analog Modem Phone = 08454550280 New PPPD = yes ISDN = 0 Username = myusername Carrier Check = no Password = mypassword Baud = 460800 4. While the driver is still running, execute wvdial in a second terminal: fiona@spiral:~$ sudo wvdial Password: --> WvDial: Internet dialer version 1.56 --> Cannot open /dev/ttySL0: No such file or directory --> Cannot open /dev/ttySL0: No such file or directory --> Cannot open /dev/ttySL0: No such file or directory fiona@spiral:~$ sudo wvdial --> WvDial: Internet dialer version 1.56 --> Cannot get information for serial port. --> Initializing modem. --> Sending: ATZ ATZ OK --> Sending: ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 X3 &D2 +FCLASS=0 ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 X3 &D2 +FCLASS=0 OK --> Modem initialized. --> Sending: ATDT08454550280 --> Waiting for carrier.

Can anyone help please? Fiona
