Henry, what Marv is asking for is the file /etc/wvdial.conf not the dialing part or the part where the modem is found, he wants more like [olivares@localhost ~]$ cat /etc/wvdial.conf [Dialer Defaults] Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0 Modem Type = Analog Modem Phone = 7072000 ISDN = 0 Username = MYUSERNAME Init1 = ATZ Password = XXXXXX Modem = /dev/ttySM0 Baud = 460800 Carrier Check = no Stupid Mode = 1 Auto DNS = yes [olivares@localhost ~]$ Regards, Antonio On 7/27/08, Henry W.
