Dennis,
Would you please instruct Devinder how to boot in 32 bit mode. His
System is similar to yours.
After the
$ sudo slmodemd -c USA --alsa modem:1
creating the /dev/ttySL0 --> /dev/pts/N _some_number
Open a 2nd command console or a new Tab on your current one and
$ sudo wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf
should find your modem through the /dev/ttySL0
Afterward, edit in your dialout to IP info with:
$ sudo gedit /etc/wvdial.conf
delete the leading ;
and replace on those lines the <xxxx> blocks with your own info.
Add a final line needed for /dev/pts/N ports
Carrier Check = no
then Save
You should now be able to dialout with:
$ sudo wvdial
You can stop wvdial in its won console with Ctrl-C
Likewise for slmodemd.
Report back presently and please copy to Devinder and the List.
