Clive, Please send us your /etc/wvdial.conf Just replace your LoginName and PassWord wth XXXXX For and COMMAND, you can get usage info with $ man COMMAND including $ man pppd NumberValues used with +MS= are one of 34, 90, or 92 They specify the max speed/compression to be used with success depedent on line quality. +MS=92 is the current default, but is poorly implemented at some IPs. So a conservative fallback is to first test with +MS=34 If that is OK +MS=90 can be tested.
