My line sometimes has some noise. But windows can connect at the first trial at about 26000 bps and it is not disconnected until I want to. With wvdial the connection FRECUENTLY FAILS. About 40% of the trials it is able CONNECTS but it is disconnected after some seconds. In the last 10 hrs and several tens of trials I could connect to wikipedia only two times. While the slmodemd and the connection are runing my machine had got complete freeze when: 1) I opened a new terminal in the Xfce menu (once) 2) I opened a new tab in the firefox 2.0 (several times) When connection is sucessfully, it takes several seconds (about 15 or more) to give some response in the firefox... before this time the connection do not exists. ****************************** ****************************** "/etc/ppp/options" file and "wvdial_trials" verbosed text are ATTACHED ****************************** ****************************** ****************************** # uname -r ****************************** 2.6.17-10-generic ****************************** # modprobe slamr # slmodemd --country=MEXICO & [1] 5046 SmartLink Soft Modem: version 2.9.11 Jun 2 2007 22:54:45 root@Calmecac:~/slmodem-2.9.11-20070204# symbolic link `/dev/ttySL0' -> `/dev/pts/2' created. modem `slamr0' created.
