I had a similar problem. I added to my wvdial.conf the options
Carrier Check = no
Stupid mode = on
Also, I have to try at least 5 times before I get a connection. That's
probably the internet provider fault.
Another thing to try is to put on the Phone line a number that you
know, just to see if your modem is dialing. I put my cell phone
number.
As for the error on the slmodemd terminal, I have no idea what that is
Cheers
Daniel
