Gary,

Are you POSITIVELY sure that you have started slmodemd AND LEFT IT RUNNING while you start sudo wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf ?

If you have the slightest doubt if slmodemd is running, the following command will tell it:
ps ax | grep slmodem
If it is not, just repeat
# modprobe snd-intel8x0m
# slmodemd --alsa -c USA modem:1
and check again.

The most likely explanation for the failure of wvdialconf to find a modem is that slmodemd is not running. You must NOT stop it with CTRL-C.

Antonio-

When I run

$ sudo wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf

I get-

"Scanning your serial ports for a modem.
Modem Port Scan <*1>: S0 S1 S2 S3

Sorry no modem detected! Is it
in use in another program? Did you
properly configure it with setserial?"


Thanks for response,
Gary

PS - Notebook is dual boot (XP and Ubuntu).






Gary,

Everything is apparently ok.  Instead of trying out GnomePPP, why not
use directly wvdial.  It should find the modem port /dev/ttySL0

$ sudo wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf

should find the modem.  Edit username, password and phone number to
dial, add a line "Carrier Check = no" to this file and try to connect
using the command line wvdial.  What messages do you see?  If you can
get a solid connection, then you may then alter your Gnome-ppp and
connect using it, but first use the old tried and true wvdial.

Regards,

Antonio
