Sean, sudo must be used with COMM functions: $ sudo wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf If you are using sudo already, See: http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/bigarch/archive-seventh/msg01641.html - dialout success with pci=noacpi http://archives.linmodems.org/29094 - disablement of Audio in the BIOS may be necessary for modem detection. Hugo, Please help. I'm just back from a week of travel and overloaded. MarvS On Mon, Jun 2, 2008 at 9:41 AM, Sean M.
