My ISP is telkomnet based in Indonesia. They have only one number to connect (080989999) username is telkomnet@instant and password is telkom where everybody can use it.I will try 'modprobe -r snd-intel8x0m' and modprobe it again before trying another dialout. I'm using +MS = 90 right now. But I did not put X3. I thought that putting X3 will not wait for dial tone, but I have to wait for it, right? Every command I type is as root (su -), or do I just have to be in su not su -? Thanks, Edison PS. I did connected for first time I create /etc/wvdial.conf after I reboot my computer. -----Original Message----- From: Antonio Olivares [mailto:olivares14031@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: Monday, June 30, 2008 10:38 AM To: Edison Cc: discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: RE: Fedora 8 with built in alsa modem --- On Sun, 6/29/08, Edison <edison@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > From: Edison <edison@xxxxxxxxx> > Subject: RE: Fedora 8 with built in alsa modem > To: discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > Date: Sunday, June 29, 2008, 8:16 PM > I already tried to break CTRL-C and then wvdial again for many times, > but it still give me Timed out while dialing.

I sometimes had those problems that you had, but with the X3 and +MS=34 or +MS=90, helped me tremendously. Also stupid mode = yes line in wvdial.conf. You are using slmodemd+alsa correct? Sometimes when i use slamr, I have to restart the service because the modem does not respond. I did as root # service slmodemd restart then # wvdial again. When the connection dies off or gives bad output, I used CTRL+C, waited a little while, then attempted dialout again. ISP's can be a major pain in the a**. You do not need to remove wvdial.conf and put it back again. IF you want to do it, it is up to you, but it does not make sense. Get other numbers (access numbers to your ISP), try them out and use the one(s) that work best. I would like to help you more, but I do not know how to give you advice. Maybe if you can share your ISP, there might be something that can be done to help you.
