Sorry I answered the last thread instead of this older one.
After having stopped wvdial with Ctrl-C, have you checked that slmodemd
was running in the other window?
Have you tried to stop and restart slmodemd and only then wvdial?

Hi,
thanks so much, the modem works!
But i have actually two problems:
1-How can i disconnect?
I write this in the terminal to connect: sudo wvdial
and then i get these info:
rockyrock@rockyrock-desktop:~$ sudo wvdial
[sudo] password for rockyrock:
--> WvDial: Internet dialer version 1.60
--> Cannot get information for serial port.
--> Initializing modem.
--> Sending: ATZ

OK

ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0
OK

ATDT198888
CONNECT 45333
--> Carrier detected. Starting PPP immediately.
--> Starting pppd at Fri Aug 15 14:42:54 2008
--> Pid of pppd: 5518
--> Using interface ppp0
"And some ips here....."
Then when i want to disconnet, i just press Ctrl+C to exit.
But the problem is that i can't reconnect again!!!!
When i try again i get a message says this:
--> WvDial: Internet dialer version 1.60
--> Cannot get information for serial port.
--> Initializing modem.
--> Sending: ATZ
--> Sending: ATQ0
--> Re-Sending: ATZ
--> Modem not responding.
so i reboot and reconnect and it works again!
So what should i do about this? How can i disconnect?
2-My other problem is that the internet is too slow "especially in browsing"! When i use the internet in Windows XP it's much faster.
But the first time i connected in Ubuntu it worked as fast as in WinXP. I think that there is something in ubuntu that uses the internet and i don't know about it, which makes the internet slow. What do i have to do??
Thanks.
