Did you put into your wvdial.conf file your needed information to connect to your ISP. If your wvdial looks like the following [Dialer Defaults] Modem = /dev/ttySL0 Baud = 460800 Init1 = ATZ Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0 ISDN = 0 Modem Type = Analog Modem ; Phone = <Target Phone Number> ; Username = <Your Login Name> ; Password = <Your Password> You need to remove the ";" from the lines and Phone = <---- put the phone number of ISP here Username = <----- put in your login name Password = <---- put in your password Carrier Check = no <---- please add this line If you need further reading, in your Modem folder generated by scanModem, there is a file called wvdial.txt which will guide you if you have further problems and if you still need help, please send your questions.
