Modem (FAILURE)

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

Found a modem on /dev/ttySL0.
Modem configuration written to /etc/wvdial.conf.
ttySL0<Info>: Speed 460800; init "ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0"

And here is my /etc/wvdial.conf file:

Init1 = ATZ
Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0
Modem Type = Analog Modem
ISDN = 0
New PPPD = yes
Phone = 5072836020
Modem = /dev/ttySL0
Username = bergtal@xxxxxxxxxxxx
Carrier Check = no
Password = XXXXXXX
Baud = 460800






Steven,
Please use wvdial to debug your modem, because of its copious diagnostics.
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.
