Ted, Modem chipset detected on NAME="Communication controller: Agere Systems Venus Modem " CLASS=0780 PCIDEV=11c1:0480 SUBSYS=1668:0500 IRQ=16 IDENT=Agere.Venus_serial_drivers ------------ should be trouble free. Using Linux on board serial drivers, the modem should be found by: $ sudo wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf Edit in your personal info with $ sudo gedit /etc/wvdial.conf removing the ; < > symbols Then a simple dialout can be done with $ sudo wvdial With respect to CALL BACK procedures, Jacques or others using it can best advise MarvS On Sun, Jun 29, 2008 at 4:58 PM, Ted Sheridan <xxted@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Help!
