Mario, Good work, even though the modem is not working/connecting you to the internet: You did do what scanModem recommends: Support type needed or chipset: slmodemd An ALSA (Advanced Linux Sound Architecture) modem driver: snd-intel8x0m provides Low Level support enabling contact with the modem hardware. For all BUT Conexant chip soft modems (using hsfmodem software) complementary High Level support is through a Smartlink utility: slmodemd Download from http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/smartlink/ the package SLMODEMD.gcc4.3.tar.gz having a compiled slmodemd. Unpack under Linux with: $ tar zxf SLMODEMD.gcc4.3.tar.gz and read instructions therein. But briefly, the modem is setup with command: slmodemd -c YOUR_COUNTRY --alsa modem:1 reporting dynamic creation of ports: /dev/ttySL0 --> /dev/pts/N , with N some number Read DOCs/Smartlink.txt and Modem/DOCs/YourSystem.txt for follow through guidance. Also you provided examples of your wvdial connections and also did send in the dmesg.txt like this part suggested: Modem interrupt assignment and sharing: 5: 736 XT-PIC-XT Intel 82801DB-ICH4 Modem, yenta, Intel 82801DB-ICH4 --- Bootup diagnostics for card in PCI slot 00:1f.6 ---- ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:00:1f.6[B] -> Link [LNKB] -> GSI 5 (level, low) -> IRQ 5 ACPI: PCI interrupt for device 0000:00:1f.6 disabled ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:00:1f.6[B] -> Link [LNKB] -> GSI 5 (level, low) -> IRQ 5 PCI: Setting latency timer of device 0000:00:1f.6 to 64 The PCI slot 00:1f.6 of the modem card may be disabled early in a bootup process, but then enabled later. If modem drivers load but the modem is not responsive, read DOCs/Bootup.txt about possible fixes. Send dmesg.txt along with ModemData.txt to discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx if help is needed. This is your wvdial.conf file: [Dialer Defaults] Init1 = ATZ Init2 = ATQ0 X3 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0 Modem = /dev/ttySL0 Phone = 7007000055 Idle Seconds = 300 Modem Type = Analog Modem Stupid Mode = yes Baud = 460800 Auto DNS = 1 Dial Command = ATDT Ask Password = 1 ISDN = 0 Username = *myusername* Password = *mypassword* Carrier Check = no Auto Reconnect = 0 Login Prompt = 1 I would try the following changes: add X3 and +MS=34 or +MS=90 [Dialer Defaults] Init1 = ATZ Init2 = ATQ0 X3 V1 E1 S0=0 X3 &C1 &D2 +MS=34 Modem = /dev/ttySL0 Phone = 7007000055 Modem Type = Analog Modem Stupid Mode = yes Baud = 460800 ISDN = 0 Username = *myusername* Password = *mypassword* Carrier Check = no Also part of dmesg shows an eth0 device, eth0: RealTek RTL8139 at 0xde826000, 00:40:d0:75:02:ec, IRQ 3 eth0: Identified 8139 chip type 'RTL-8100B/8139D' before you attempt a dialup you should do a # ifconfig eth0 down that way eth0 won't interfere with connection. I also see this part: intel8x0_measure_ac97_clock: measured 55357 usecs intel8x0: clocking to 48000 that might/might not affect the connection. Hope this helps in some way.
