yes , i kept slmodemd running and opened 2nd console. okay , i tried wvdial again and it did see the modem . made the changes to the file and tried dialing . pretty same result as with KPPP ,i get a NO CARRIER . but after the first dial attempt the terminal runs an endless loop , as shown below. here's what my wvdial file looks like : [Dialer Defaults] Init1 = ATZ Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0 Modem Type = Analog Modem Phone = 917185138106 ISDN = 0 Password = ********* New PPPD = yes Username = ********** Modem = /dev/ttySL0 Baud = 460800 Carrier Check = no and here is what happens on the terminal when wvdial dials : laptop:~$ sudo wvdial --> 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: ATDT917185138106 --> Waiting for carrier.
