Ok, when i run wvdial it scans ttyshsf0 first & doesn't find then modem. this is where the drivers package says the modem will be installed. Can i make it search other addresses? it searches ttys0 - ttys7 but not any of the ttyshsf* addresses. is my modem being set to where the sound card is, & that is why neither work now? Thanks for all your help & patience, it's been almost 10 years since i have used an X system.
