Hi Jacques et al, Tomorrow I'll re-run the wvdialconf since I forgot to do it after I changed the call to slmodemd. So then I'll be able to know if everything is working. I do know that the modem works because I can ring my cell phone :) Meanwhile does the -c USA option means anithing? I'm dialing from Brazil... Also, I don't hear the modem audio output (dialing and handshake noise). Is that normal? Is there a way to turn it on so I can know if the wvdial is getting to the handshake part?
