Cheers, I hope you mean the content of the wvdial.conf [Dialer Defaults] Init1 = ATZ Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0 Modem Type = Analog Modem ISDN = 0 Phone = 5144489294 Modem = /dev/modem Username = login01 Password = XXXXXXXX Baud = 460800 I should tell you: Someone from linuxant was helping me. He suggested trying a different ISP. I was able to connect to a different ISP, but then websites could not open. But there was traffic because I tried pinging and I could see the status of ping data uploading and downloading. With my current ISP (the one we are testing) no connection is established at all. My computer is a dual-boot, and I can connect to this ISP on Windows.
