Erin,
This typically happens when you try to run wvdial and slmodemd is NOT
running.
I guess you did start slmodemd but probably got some error message.
Please give as many details as possible containing commands and messages.
I also assume that you did not try to start wvdial in the same window
where slmodemd MUST be kept running, and also that you did start wvdial
as root . I do not remember your version of Linux, in Ubuntu you would
give the command sudo wvdial .

when you CTRL+C the slmodemd closes and wvdial will not find the modem port '/dev/ttySL0", as Marv suggested open another console shell or tab, and do
$ sudo wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf
IT should find the modem port and after that you can edit the username, password and phone number, add the option "Carrier Check - no" and attempt a connection.
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:

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!
