Modify your wvdial.conf to add a line Carrier Check = no and modify this line Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0 to # Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 X3 &C1 &D2 +MS=34 or # Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 X3 &C1 &D2 +MS=90 your wvdial.conf files should more or less look like [Dialer Defaults] Modem = /dev/ttySL0 Baud = 115200 Init1 = ATZ Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 X3 &C1 &D2 +MS=90 ISDN = 0 Modem Type = Analog Modem Phone = 3334445555 Username = Your_Login_Name Password = Your_Password Carrier Check = no # Stupid Mode = yes # Carrier Check = no You may also visit Jacque's post install tips here: http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/post-install.html HTH, Antonio --- Kendall Brown <ordinary12@xxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > The output shows that the modem attempted to connect > but I don't have a > telephone line near me right now. > > > kendall@localhost:/usr/sbin/SLMODEMD.gcc4.2$ sudo > wvdial > sudo: unable to resolve host localhost > [sudo] password for kendall: > --> WvDial: Internet dialer version 1.60 > --> Cannot get information for serial port. > --> Initializing modem. > --> Sending: ATZ > ATZ > OK > --> Sending: ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0 > ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0 > OK > --> Sending: AT+GCI=b5 > AT+GCI=b5 > OK > --> Modem initialized. > --> Sending: ATDT8409266 > --> Waiting for carrier. > ATDT8409266 > NO DIALTONE > --> No dial tone. > --> Disconnecting at Fri May 23 13:43:48 2008 > kendall@localhost:/usr/sbin/SLMODEMD.gcc4.2$ > > > > > Antonio Olivares wrote: > > Try not to use the gui yet, > > > > Please do > > > > kendall@localhost:/usr/sbin/SLMODEMD.gcc4.2$ sudo > wvdial > > > > and then what do you get? > > > > Are you able to connect? > > > > Regards, > > > > Antonio > > > > On 5/23/08, Kendall Brown > <ordinary12@xxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > > >> I followed your instructions exactly but I am > still not able to dial out. > >> > >> > >> kendall@localhost:/usr/sbin/SLMODEMD.gcc4.2$ sudo > wvdialconf > >> /etc/wvdial.conf > >> sudo: unable to resolve host localhost > >> Editing `/etc/wvdial.conf'. > >> > >> Scanning your serial ports for a modem. > >> > >> Modem Port Scan<*1>: S0 S1 S2 S3 > >> WvModem<*1>: Cannot get information for serial > port. > >> ttySL0<*1>: ATQ0 V1 E1 -- OK > >> ttySL0<*1>: ATQ0 V1 E1 Z -- OK > >> ttySL0<*1>: ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 -- OK > >> ttySL0<*1>: ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 -- OK > >> ttySL0<*1>: ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 -- OK > >> ttySL0<*1>: ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0 -- > OK > >> ttySL0<*1>: Modem Identifier: ATI -- SmartLink > Soft Modem > >> ttySL0<*1>: Speed 4800: AT -- OK > >> ttySL0<*1>: Speed 9600: AT -- OK > >> ttySL0<*1>: Speed 19200: AT -- OK > >> ttySL0<*1>: Speed 38400: AT -- OK > >> ttySL0<*1>: Speed 57600: AT -- OK > >> ttySL0<*1>: Speed 115200: AT -- OK > >> ttySL0<*1>: Speed 230400: AT -- OK > >> ttySL0<*1>: Speed 460800: AT -- OK > >> ttySL0<*1>: Max speed is 460800; that should be > safe. > >> ttySL0<*1>: ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0 -- > OK > >> > >> Found a modem on /dev/ttySL0. > >> Modem configuration written to /etc/wvdial.conf. > >> ttySL0<Info>: Speed 460800; init "ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 > &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0" > >> kendall@localhost:/usr/sbin/SLMODEMD.gcc4.2$ > >> > >> The wvdialconf program was able to find my modem > and made the necessary > >> changes to the /etc/wvdial.conf file but I'm > still not able to get my > >> modem working.
