I did all this, and it did work (or at least got to the point where wvdial tells me there was no dial tone, as our local lines were down at the time) as I stated. I guess what I was asking is whether slmodemd can be made to run in the backround at startup so I don't have to open open it manually every time I want to dial out. Unfortunately now that the phone lines are up again I'm having another problem. I added "Carrier Check = no" to wvdial.conf, but I get this error trying to connect: --> WvDial: Internet dialer version 1.60 --> Cannot get information for serial port. --> Initializing modem. --> Sending: ATZ ATZ OK --> Sending: ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0 ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0 OK --> Modem initialized. --> Sending: ATDT5090082 --> Waiting for carrier . ATDT5090082 NO CARRIER --> No Carrier! Trying again. --> etc...Did I add the Carrier Check to the right place? My wvdial.conf file looks like this: Init1 = ATZ Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0 Modem Type = Analog Modem Phone = ********** ISDN = 0 Password = ************ New PPPD = yes Username = *********** Modem = /dev/ttySL0 Baud = 460800 Carrier Check = no Thanks for the help!
