Edison, please follow Marv's advice. It seems that you are running the gui, please run it from a terminal as root user $ su - password: # wvdial In case you missed it, here is what Marv told you to do. /***** start of message *****/ Edison, For reasons obscure, sometimes there is a Waiting for Carrier message despite the line NO CARRIER The Cannot get information for serial port is harmless. Please read the wvdial.txt in the SLMODEMD package about other options to try. Perhaps the first to test is adding an X3 ( don't wait for dialtone) into the line Init2: Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 X3 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0 This compensates for low line voltages, if that doesn't help, next try: Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 X3 &C1 &D2 =MS=34 which compensates for noisy lines MarvS /***** end of message *****/ I also suggest that if you can please do the following: If CONNECT is achieved but browsing fails, try activating the following line # Auto DNS = yes in /etc/wvdial.conf ## To make a logfile wvdial.out # wvdial 2>&1 | tee wvdial.out send us wvdial.out to discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx Regards, Antonio On 6/25/08, Edison <edison@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > The error looks like this: > > WvDial<*1>: WvDial: Internet dialer version 1.56 > WvModem<*1>: Cannot get information for serial port. > WvDial<*1>: Initializing modem. > WvDial<*1>: Sending: ATZ > WvDial Modem<*1>: ATZ > WvDial Modem<*1>: OK > WvDial<*1>: Sending: ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0 > WvDial Modem<*1>: ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0 > WvDial Modem<*1>: OK > WvDial<*1>: Modem initialized. > WvDial<*1>: Sending: ATDT080989999 > WvDial<*1>: Waiting for carrier. > WvDial Modem<*1>: ATDT080989999 > WvDial Modem<*1>: NO CARRIER > WvDial Modem<*1>: ERROR > WvDial<Warn>: No Carrier!
