I have looked over the web site and have a problem connecting to my ISP. I added the " Carrier Check = no " and " Stupid Mode = yes " in /etc/wvdial.conf.
When I connect to my old ISP I get a connect message and login prompt. I can't login since I no longer have an account there. My current ISP drops me before connecting giving me the " No Carrier " Message. I have tried a few different access numbers and also tried dialing in minicom.
Here is a look at my config file:
[Dialer Defaults]
Init1 = ATZ
Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0
Modem Type = Analog Modem
ISDN = 0
New PPPD = yes
Phone = 18778490278
Modem = /dev/ttySL0
Username = <my user name not shown>
Password = <my password not shown>
Baud = 460800
Carrier Check = no
Stupid Mode = yes
If you have any more suggestions I can try I would be happy! Here is the result of dmesg | grep slamr:
[ 16.216000] slamr: module license 'Smart Link Ltd.' taints kernel.

I am using Ubuntu 7.10 I have an Encore ENF656-ESW-NDPR Netodragon ND92XPA chipset internal PCI modem. I am using ver. slmodem-2.9.11-20080817 and ungrab-winmodem-20080126.
Here is the result from Pon/Poff:

Any suggestions would be gladly appreciated! It is probably some sort of configuration error that I can't figure out since I get a login prompt to the ISP I used to use in the past.
Your ISP might be having a problem with any number of things. A few ideas:
1. Wrong baud rate. Too fast? Too slow? Try putting a slow one, a faster one,
etc.
2. Turn pppd's debugging stuff on. pon/poff are probabably wraps for pppd,
which takes its config options either from command line, the /etc/ppp/options
file, or any number of files in /etc/ppp/peers/ when called like
'pppd call <peer>'.
debug
logfile /var/log/pppd.log
record /var/log/pppd.dump
Then look in those files and see exactly what it sent/received. Not all the
dialog shows in the normal syslog when using pppd.
3. Compression (or lack of) maybe causing trouble. Try to turn it off if on.
novj
novjccomp
deflate 0
bsdcomp 0
4. How is the other side authenticating you? Maybe turn off/on different auth
methods:
refuse-chap
refuse-mschap
refuse-mschap-v2
(see man pppd for the full list of these).
5. Change tools. C-Kermit is very powerful and smart (knows what to do without
having to set a million options) with an extensive online help system. First,
try to dial a known-working number and make sure you can do that, then start
on the ISP number again.
basically just
set line /dev/whatever
dial 555-1234
Try to look for a login screen, some text, some intelligent, or maybe just
junk that would indicate PPP starts automatically.

6. Maybe the ISP can help? Some can...others just keep asking what version of
Windows you're running ;)
