Please do not use Kppp but wvdial at least while debugging.
Read http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/wvdial.html to start with wvdial.
After running the first one time step wvdialconf and having edited the
configuration file (default is /etc/wvdial.conf ) add this line in the
configuration file:
Carrier Check = no
If you succeed and then insist on using Kppp,
1-check that /dev/modem points to /dev/ttySL0
2-Add X3 or ATX3 at the very end of the modem initialisation strings
(last in last string if more than one string, I never use it, do not
remember).
Hayes command ATX3 is equivalent to Carrier Check = no in most cases.
The driver does not support sound, which is why it makes no noise and
cannot detect the line dial tone.

Help,
I can run the slmodemd --alsa -c USA hw:0,6 and it gives me:
SmartLink Soft Modem: version 2.9.9e-pre1 Sep 30 2007 00:07:03
symbolic link `/dev/ttySL0' -> `/dev/pts/1' created.
modem `hw:0,6' created. TTY is `/dev/pts/1'
Use `/dev/ttySL0' as modem device, Ctrl+C for termination.
When I try to use KPPP it says no carrier. I also do not hear any dial
tone. Did I miss something?
thanks,
Sean
