Bob All looks OK, except change Carrier check = yes to Carrier check = no which is necessary for usage of /dev/pts/N ports which you modem uses. Once you get on line, by $ sudo wvdial you should be able to browse with Firefox Also do $ sudo apt-get update In preparation for installing automation. Also do send us your output ModemData.txt ouput from scanModem, to better define your System for us. You can get a wvdial log with $ sudo wvdial 2>&1 | tee wvlog.txt We'll help MarvS scanModem maintainer On 11/2/07, Bob Terrell <bob_terrell_texas@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Greetings, > I am a Linux and Ubuntu newbie attempting to donate > 40+ surplus computers to disadvantaged students and > their families at our school here in West Texas.
