When you say that you got the following /* 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. */ Open up another terminal or tab, and try the $ sudo wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf and if you get the same results, please let us know.
