Hi, I have a USB modem EVDO (AC8700). I am using wvdial to as the dial program. Below is my wvdial.conf ===================================== [Dialer Defaults] Modem = /dev/ttyUSB0 Baud = 921600 Init1 = ATZ Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 Init3 = Area Code = Phone = #555 Username = 20111111 Password = 20111111 Ask Password = 0 Dial Command = ATDT Stupid Mode = 1 Compuserve = 0 Force Address = Idle Seconds = DialMessage1 = DialMessage2 = ISDN = 0 Auto DNS = 1 ===================================== The problem is i am not able to redial after i have disconnected wvdial. Below is the trace from wvdial: ===================================== linux-wl4r:~ # wvdial --> WvDial: Internet dialer version 1.56 (abuild@mandelbrot) --> Cannot get information for serial port. --> Initializing modem. --> Sending: ATZ ATZ OK --> Sending: ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 OK --> Modem initialized. --> Sending: ATDT#555 --> Waiting for carrier.
