Thank you, Jacques, I did figure out that my problem from my last post
was that I had not configured the file by calling wvdialconf. Thank you
for your clarity.
So after running wvdialconf, I configured the file as follows:
[Dialer Defaults]
Init1 = ATZ
Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0
Modem Type = Analog Modem
Baud = 460800
Modem = /dev/ttySL0
ISDN = 0
Phone = 7054579564
Password = XXXXXXXX #hidden for the purpose of this email
Username = XXXXXXXX #hidden for the purpose of this email
And ran sudo wvdial:
$ sudo wvdial
--> WvDial: Internet dialer version 1.56
--> Cannot get information for serial port.
--> Initializing modem.
--> Sending: ATZ
ATZ
OK
--> Sending: ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0
ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0
OK
--> Modem initialized.
--> Sending: ATDT7054579564
--> Waiting for carrier.
ATDT7054579564
NO CARRIER
ERROR
--> No Carrier! Trying again.
--> Sending: ATDT7054579564
--> Waiting for carrier.
ATDT7054579564
NO CARRIER
So, NO CARRIER. What is it looking for and how do I give it what it wants?
Thanks,
Anita.
