Amos, Please always send to the Linmodems listserver, as the group expertise is much broader than mine alone, and I don't have the time to respond to all queries. With respect to your questions below. Just use $ su - root # gedit /etc/wvdial.conf to make changes. You must add a line: Carrier check = no and put in your personal login info at the indicated lines, as illustrated in the wvdial.txt Save. With slmodemd left running, open a 2nd console, or TAB on your current one. Then you may be able to CONNECT to the Internet with: # wvdial The other information in the sample wvdial.txt are potential remedies, if the dialout is not successful MarvS On Dec 10, 2007 5:04 PM, amosse@xxxxxxxxx <amosse@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > Amos > > > > The low level modem driver is the snd-intel8x0m (plus dependent > > modules) already provided with your Linux installation. > > The slmoded is a non-driver helper with most of the COMM smarts, > > provided compiled for Newbies.
