Mike Drivers are matched too kernels EXACTLY. So with each kernel update, a new matching ungrab-winmodem and slamr will be necessary. Never delete old kernel resources, until you can get online under the new. Usually I prepare the new driver pair for everyone. Before doing the new install do: $ sudo cp /etc/wvdial.conf /etc/wvdial.conf.old because the setup will overwrite the old wvdial.conf (presently will do a fix for this). So after the slamr package $ sudo ./setup $ sudo cp /etc/wvdial.conf.old /etc/wvdial.conf and you will be ready to dialout Learn to compile your own drivers.

After restarting, wvdial dialed out with no problems. I did remember to add no carrier check to .conf and I created a launcher on her desktop. So all she has to do is click and type in her password and she is dialing. Do you know if I will run into any problems after updating everything, like 2.6.20-16 generic kernel? Thanks for the help.

I got it installed and wvdial configured. I got a little lost somewhere. When I first start up the computer, what do I need to run in the 1st terminal before I open the second terminal to run wvdial? Is there any way to make an icon on the desktop that will make this a little easier for my wife? Please reply.

I have talked my wife into trying Ubuntu. She has a different modem in her computer and the Martian I am using would not work. I ran scan modem and attached a couple of text files and below is the info that is physically on the modem. Let me know if there is anything you can do to help me get it dialing out.
