Many thanks again. Sorry but when I try: # gedit /etc/wvdial.conf I get command gedit not found! There are some other command to use? By Amos
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.
