ALex Change Carrier Check = on to Carrier Check = no This is necessary for modems using /dev/pts/N ports The first column in the output of $ slmodemd --countrylist is the hexadecimal modem code. Find out which hexadecimal modem code is used in Ethiopia. Then you can use the name of any COUNTRY with the same hexadecimal modem code MarvS On Nov 20, 2007 3:50 AM, Alexander Menk GTZ ET <alexander.menk@xxxxxx> wrote: > Hello! > > I've trouble to get the softmodem in our laptops (Toshiba Satellite Pro > A120) to work, distribution is Ubuntu 7.10 which seems to have a old > slmodemd (did not install it on this laptop) > > I already downloaded today's slmodemd from > http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/smartlink/SLMODEMD.gcc4.1.tar.gz > and did "sudo slmodemd -c GERMANY --alsa hw:0,6" where Germany is of > course the wrong country - but Ethiopia did not seem to be available. > > I always get the error "NO CARRIER" when try to dial-up to Ethiopian > Telecomunications. > > I think, _something_ seems to work: If I replace the internet dial-up > number with the number of my cellphone, it rings, I can accept the call > but don't here anything but some noise. > > Wvdial output: > > # wvdial -C .wvdial.conf > WvDial<*1>: WvDial: Internet dialer version 1.56 > WvModem<*1>: Cannot get information for serial port. > WvDial<*1>: Initializing modem. > WvDial<*1>: Sending: ATZ > WvDial Modem<*1>: ATZ > WvDial Modem<*1>: OK > WvDial<*1>: Sending: ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0 > WvDial Modem<*1>: ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0 > WvDial Modem<*1>: OK > WvDial<*1>: Modem initialized. > WvDial<*1>: Sending: ATM0L0DP900 > WvDial<*1>: Waiting for carrier. > WvDial Modem<*1>: ATM0L0DP900 > WvDial Modem<*1>: NO CARRIER > WvDial<Warn>: No Carrier!
