FAILURE I tried using wvdial and configured it like you said. Here is are the error messages from wvdail: ERROR --> No Carrier! Trying again. --> Sending: ATDT5072836020 --> Waiting for carrier. ATDT5072836020 NO CARRIER Here is the error message from slmodemd: error: cannot setup hw params for playback: Invalid argument Both of these repeat as it trys to dial again. Here is my wvdialconf message: steve@stevelaptop:~$ sudo wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf Editing `/etc/wvdial.conf'. Scanning your serial ports for a modem.

Details, for example, at http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/wvdial.html Briefly: slmodemd MUST be running in its own window until you want to stop the modem. sudo wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf should detect your modem Edit /etc/wvdial.conf There are three lines starting with a ; Remove the ; Replace <Phone> by the number given to you by your ISP (delete also the < and > Same for username and password Add one line Carrier Check = no Save and exit editor This has configured wvdial once for all. To connect, STILL WITH slmodemd RUNNING, sudo wvdial Either it will work, or you write again with all details such as error messages shown by wvdialconf and by wvdial, and send file wvdial.conf AFTER ERASING THE PASSWORD.

I substituted USA for "YOUR_COUNTRY", and 6 for N. 6 appears to be the correct number because typing "cat/proc/asound/pcm " in the command line produces the following result: > > 00-06: Si3054 Modem : Si3054 Modem : playback 1 : capture 1 > 00-00: ALC861 Analog : ALC861 Analog : playback 1 : capture 2 > > So, the command I type in is "sudo slmodemd -c USA --alsa hw:0,6" > > This gives me the followind result: > SmartLink Soft Modem: version 2.9.11 Aug 6 2007 22:02:27 > symbolic link `/dev/ttySL0' -> `/dev/pts/1' created. > modem `hw:0,6' created.
