Here Henry you need to add your username, your password and the phone number to connect to your ISP, and remove the ";"
Edit the file and put in all the information that is required so that you can connect. If you connect from windows, copy that information over to linux,
what is the username that you use? put it where your_username
phone, and password as well
$ sudo gedit /etc/wvdial.conf
[Dialer Defaults]
Init1 = ATZ
Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0
Modem Type = Analog Modem
Phone = 1234567
ISDN = 0
Password = your_password_goes_here
New PPPD = yes
Username = your_username_goes_here
Modem = /dev/ttyS1
Baud = 115200
Then try the command
$ sudo wvdial
again. Does it work?
Regards,
Antonio
