thanks for your reply . KPPP just keeps redialing and just keeps giving me the NO CARRIER message. wvdial does not see the modem . : [ WvDial: Internet dialer version 1.60 --> Cannot open /dev/modem: No such file or directory --> Cannot open /dev/modem: No such file or directory --> Cannot open /dev/modem: No such file or directory ] here's what the terminal returns after i enter '$ sudo slmodemd -c USA --alsa hw:0,6' : [ SmartLink Soft Modem: version 2.9.11 Aug 3 2008 21:41:20 symbolic link `/dev/ttySL0' -> `/dev/pts/1' created. modem `hw:0,6' created.
