Re: Emanuele, Italy kernel 2.6.22-14-generic

[Emanuele Pagone <epagone@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks for the help, but I'm still having problems.

I edited wvdial.conf and sl-modem-daemon as Marvin said, then I typed:

> emanuele@emanuele-desktop:~$ ls  -l  /dev/ttySL0  /dev/pts/*
> crw-rw---- 1 root     uucp 136, 0 2008-04-10 23:08 /dev/pts/0
> crw--w---- 1 emanuele tty  136, 1 2008-04-10 23:31 /dev/pts/1
> lrwxrwxrwx 1 root     root     10 2008-04-10 23:08 /dev/ttySL0 -> /dev/pts/0

all seemed right.

Unfortunately, when I made:

> emanuele@emanuele-desktop:~$ sudo wvdial
> WvDial<*1>: WvDial: Internet dialer version 1.56
> WvModem<*1>: Cannot get information for serial port.
> WvDial<*1>: Initializing modem.

I got a "NO DIALTONE" message. This is my wvdial.conf:

I removed my username and password. About the phone number, the first 
digit '0' is the first part of a regional area code (I'm not passing 
through a switchboard to make a call): under Ms Windows, the modem works 
perfectly using that number.

I have also an ethernet card in my computer so, following what's 
suggested in the "YourSystem.txt", I disconnected the RJ-45 cable and I 
made:

> emanuele@emanuele-desktop:~/Modem$ sudo ifconfig eth0 down
> emanuele@emanuele-desktop:~/Modem$ ifconfig
> lo        Link encap:Local Loopback  
>           inet addr:127.0.0.1  Mask:255.0.0.0

>           collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 
>           RX bytes:0 (0.0 b)  TX bytes:0 (0.0 b)

Nothing changed. I also tried to remove the X3 command from the Init2 
string, but the result it's just the same: "NO DIALTONE".

What's wrong?

Thank you.
