Marvin, Please see my explanations & requests for clarification to some of your suggestions in *CAPITALS* below (Just using capitals to differentiate between you & me, not shouting or flaming ;->). Also, is it possible to turn the modem sound off as I find the dialling noises really annoying. And finally how do you disconnect i.e. what's the command to disconnect once you've successfully connected.

Just use +MS=NumberValue once as the last item on the line. *SHOULD "number value" BE REPLACED BY AN ACTUAL NUMBER & IF SO WHAT WOULD BE A RANGE OF NUMBERS THAT WOULD BE APPROPRIATE OR LEFT AS "NumberValue"?* * I TRIED EACH SEPARATELY & BOTH GAVE "BAD INIT STRING" MESSAGES.

Use: Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 X3 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0 or Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 X3 &C1 &D2 +MS=34 *I DON'T THINK I REALLY NEEDED X3, BUT WILL TRY AGAIN WITH IT IN THE CORRECT POSITION* RE: Sending: ATDP0198333713 ATDP is for older pulse dial phone lines, If yours is Touch Tone, use the default ATDT * I JUST USED THIS (atdp) AS PART OF THE TEST PROCESS. I ALSO USED THE TONE OPTION.* You can also test adding a line Stupid Mode = 1 needed with some Internet Providers. *I TRIED THIS WITH "YES" AS PER THE NOTES, WILL TRY AGAIN WITH "1"* MarvS On Fri, Jul 18, 2008 at 7:33 PM, Clive Oatley <cliveoatley@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > 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. > > See below: > > clive@clive-desktop:~$ sudo gedit /etc/wvdial.conf [sudo] password for > clive: > clive@clive-desktop:~$ sudo wvdial > --> WvDial: Internet dialer version 1.60 Initializing modem. > --> Sending: ATZ > ATZ > OK > --> Sending: ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0 > ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0 > OK > --> Modem initialized. > --> Sending: ATDT0198333713 ; > --> Waiting for carrier. > ATDT0198333713 ; > OK > --> Timed out while dialing.
