Hi all, I noticed I had forgotten to cc to discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx so I just forwarded some previous messages for reference.

I remember having tried in vain to put it on my previous config (Customized Fedora 2 with 2.6.16 kernel) So I had to give up the ATZ but still the whole thing does not work. It does not work with any combination I tried, that is - slamr or snd_via82xx_modem - slmodemd compiled with or without alsa support - with or without the extra scripts and rules provided with sl-modem-daemon_2.9.10+2.9.9d+e-pre2-5ubuntu4_i386.deb - with or without ungrab_winmodem Moreover the phone line is left in a weird state, and I have to unplug it from the computer, picking the phone does not help. It did not work any better dialing to a standard provider that does not use callback. Usually ATX3 acted like a charm to be able to connect through the non continuous dial tone we have here in Italy, but it seems that it is not the case anymore with Ubuntu 7.10. It has been a week now that I could not connect using Linux. Below is one wvdial.conf that worked on my previous system (2.2.16) Of course I tried many alternatives, including (but not limited to) the commented out Init2, the non stupid mode and the frequently recommended "Carrier Check = no" BTW I guess "no, off, yes and on" are all accepted boolean values, but I see no confirmation in the doc. Also it is not clear if both the capitalized name of the country and the code given by slmodemd --list are valid. So if anyone has a clue......................... There are such a lot of parameters ! There *must* be someone who had the same problem here in Italy. My providers are big providers here, and my freshly installed Ubuntu 7.10 is standard, not a customized config like I had before, when everybody told me I could not go on getting around with that ;-) My modem also is just one of the most common Smartlink Cheers, AO ;; wdial.conf ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; [Dialer Defaults] ; Modem = /dev/ttySL0 Modem = /dev/modem ISDN = off Modem Type = Analog Modem Baud = 115200 Init = ATM2L3X3 ; Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0 Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 X3 &C1 &D2 +MS=90 ; Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 X3 &C1 &D2 Init3 = Init4 = Init5 = Init6 = Init7 = Init8 = Init9 = Phone = 7020187187 Phone1 = Phone2 = Phone3 = Phone4 = Dial Prefix = Dial Attempts = 1 Dial Command = ATM2L3DT Ask Password = off Password = telecom Username = telecom Auto Reconnect = on Abort on Busy = off Carrier Check = on Check Def Route = on Abort on No Dialtone = on Stupid Mode = on Idle Seconds = 0 Auto DNS = on Check DNS = on ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
