There is no purpose to erase wvdial.conf and recreate it again. Save it once and when it is working like you want save it and make a backup copy as root user $ su - password: # cp /etc/wvdial.conf /etc/wvdial.conf.bak > > And if I start my computer again, there is nothing in my wvdial.conf. > All the things I write is gone. > Did you save it as root? or as regular user? > > What happened? Do I have to do the wvdialconf all the time? No you do not have to do it every time. Besides running Fedora as my linux system I also run slax live cd either from usb or cd, and I save wvdial.conf, resolv.conf and use them again everytime. This way I do not have to retype them again. > > PS. May I ask how to put the connecting sound to be heared?

I do not know if this will help you, but you can try and putting in a command SetVolume = 2 in /etc/wvdial.conf to see if you can hear the modem dial. If it bombs out with an error remove the line. > > Regards, > > edison > Hope this helps. Edison, please try to respond to the previous thread that you have. Opening new threads with very close subjects does not help newbies out that might have your modem and want similar advice. This way they can view the archives in a nicer way. I hope that you do not mind me asking you to do this, but it does make a difference. Regards, Antonio
