Apparently, there are no wvdial packages for Slackware http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/slackware-installation-40/slw-12-no-wvdial-620181/ http://packages.slackware.it/search.php?v=current&t=1&q=wvdial That is why I compiled from source. Kppp would have gotten the job done, but it is not dialing :( I am trying to use wvdial to troubleshoot the connection. slmodem-2.9.11-20080228 is not working with 2.6.24, I will be cautious with Fedora in this case not to to update yet, till I know that it does work.
