I'm using Ubuntu Feisty 7.04 and WvDial as my connection to the
internet. Everything is working fine until I get a random disconnection
or a no carrier detected error. (i.e. busy, no dial tone or poor line).
In either case WvDial goes into auto reconnect and dials the ISP number
but the phone/modem isn't ready yet. WvDial shows this:

I'm using a D-Link (Conexant) DFM-562IS modem and the full HSF Linuxant
modem driver (which I downloaded last week). As I say, it's all working
alright its just the auto reconnect never actually reconnects (typically
at 04:00am when the PC is in the middle of an update and I'm asleep).
I don't know if it will help but here's my wvdial.conf:
[Dialer Defaults]
Init1 = ATZ
Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0
Modem Type = Analog Modem
Baud = 115200
New PPPD = yes
Modem = /dev/modem
ISDN = 0
Phone = 1818801
Username = sdavis
Password = welcome
Auto Reconnect = on
Abort on Busy = on
Carrier Check = on
Check Def Route = on
Abort on No Dialtone = on
Stupid Mode = off
Idle Seconds = 0
Anything else you need just let me know
Thanks AD
