Ann have you run: $ sudo wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf and then edited in your personal info with: $ sudo gedit /etc/wvdial.conf After the edit it should look like: [Dialer defaults] Modem = /dev/modem Baud = 115200 Init1 = ATZ Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0 ISDN = 0 Modem Type = Analog Modem Phone = IPnumber_without_spaces_or_dashes Username = LoginName@xxxxxxxxxx Password = LoginPassworkd # lines are not read bu wvdial # Auto DNS = yes # Auto Reconnect = on Save on trial a dialout with $ sudo wvdial For gnomePPP, run its setup to do the equivalent. Not under Linux now, but I recall the config file is .wvdial.conf in your home folder. Display it with $ cat .wvdialconf the leading . just hides files, which can be displayed with: $ ls -a If you still have a failure, send us the failure informaiton. Some of it will be displayed by: $ sudo tail -f /var/log/messages MarvS On Wed, May 14, 2008 at 1:32 AM, Ann <tate886@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > HI folks, > > Well,t h excellent news is that I've got my modem detected, drivers > installed (I hope), and it's dialing.
