Am I correct in assuming that if I blacklist, I'll free up resources and hw:modem1 will work? wvdial initializes the modem, detects a carrier, but asks for a username when it''s already in the dialer defaults. What do I need to do to get it to read dialer defaults? I hear no sound whatsoever, but it must be dialing since it's connecting and asking for a username.
