I have reached the point where I can get the modem to dial, but it fails to connect. I have worked through wvdial.txt & tried the solutions offered there. Some changes: +MS=34 & +MS=90 gave "bad init string" messages. Also, is it possible to turn of the modem sound off as I find the dialling noises really annoying.
