Kendall Re: /sbin/SLMODEMD.gcc4.2$ sudo slmodemd -c USA --alsa hw:0,6 sudo: unable to resolve host localhost SmartLink Soft Modem: version 2.9.11 Feb 25 2008 18:25:57 symbolic link `/dev/ttySL0' -> `/dev/pts/1' created. modem `hw:0,6' created. TTY is `/dev/pts/1' Use `/dev/ttySL0' as modem device, Ctrl+C for termination. --------- OK so far. But first within /sbin/SLMODEMD.gcc4.2/ do $ sudo cp slmodemd /usr/sbin/ $ sudo chmod +x /usr/sbin/slmodemd This will put slmodemd on the command path and you can all it from your personal folder. First check the version: $ slmodemd --version should be 2.9.11. Then activate as before with: $ sudo slmodemd -c USA --alsa hw:0,6 Next open a second console, or TAB on the same one. Then the modem should be found with: $ sudo wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf If so finish your configuation with: $ sudo gedit /etc/wvdial.conf Read the wvdial.txt for details.
