Evidently your phone line is noisy, so only +MS=34 may be reliable RE: best way to let ppl having the no carrier problem know to try this?

I was reading some of the text files in /modem and in one of them it said that (mostly for people in Italy) you should add +MS=34 at the end of the second init string. I tried and I was able to connect. I haven't really tried it out yet since I had to leave but I managed to get onto google.ca through firefox and so I believe that it is working fine. I'll continue to try it out tonight and I only have a couple more little questions. First of all, what is +MS=34 exactly?

I'm not sure exactly what to do because I seem to have found different walkthroughs between the ubuntu help site and the text files included in /modem from scanModem. Here's what I've been doing based on what I understand: > > >> (you should know that I am running of a live CD and so everything is reset, etc.) > > >> I unpack SLMODEMD.gcc4.1.tar.gz, follow the instructions given in its textfiles al the way to sudo slmodemd -c CANADA --alsa modem:1 which creates /dev/ttySL0 > > >> I then open another command line window(can't think of the proper name at the moment), then I follow the instructions I found on the ubuntu help site.

I also add Carrier Check = no . Then I enter $ sudo wvdial and I get a similar response to John: > > >> WvDial Modem: ATDT6133501638 > > >>> WvDial Modem: NO CARRIER > > >>> WvDial: No Carrier!

Somewhere in ModemData.txt, it says that the archived modem doesn not agree with the detected one. My modem has been replaced since initially buying the laptop and so that might be the reason although I do not fully understand this stuff. Also, do I need to install linux-lib-dev and libc6-dev or should ubuntu 7.10 already have this. > > >> (I am resending this email because the first time it was not in plain text) > > >> > > >> > > >> _________________________________________________________________ > > >> Try Chicktionary, a game that tests how many words you can form from the letters given.
