Graham, Apologies, I forgot to inform that Root/Adm permission is necessary (use sudo) when: $ sudo wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf If still a failure, Read the SoftModem.txt output by scanModem. Follow the directions therein to do modem diagnostics under a Microsoft boot. Also under the Driver Details tab, copyout the Vendor and Device information.
