Rocky,
Can you please be more specific?
Ctrl-C stops a PROGRAM.
Which one did you stop with Ctrl-C?
Has what you did also stopped slmodemd or just wvdial (which I assume
you used because you do not say, so I have to guess)?
If you did not stop slmodemd and then, quoting you, "Then i wanted to
reconnect, so i typed:
$sudo modprobe -r slamr", then the error message just says "hey, I can't
modprobe it because it is already running and is used by slmodemd".
If you want to understand what you, when you have a "module busy"
report, the first thing to do is type sudo lsmod " which shows which
module(s , one or more) are running and depend on what.
Finally if my guess is right, and with Ctrl-C you stopped wvdial which
indeed disconnects the modem, but did not stop slmodemd which I guess
was running in an other terminal, all you need in order to restart is to
start wvdial again.

Hi Marv,
the way you gave me last time to unload and reload the driver doesn't work with me.
Look what i've done:
I pressed Ctrl+C to disconnect in the terminal that i used to connect, and it worked.
Then i wanted to reconnect, so i typed:
$sudo modprobe -r slamr
but i got this message:
$FATAL: Module slamr is in use.
I tried then to type:
$sudo modprobe slamr
and i got no message, then when i tried to reconnect i get the same old message that the modem doesn't respond or something. So i had to reboot again to reconnect again!
Thanks.
