RE: Zoom/FaxModem 2920

Thanks Marvin,

The wvdial.conf did work on identifying the modem. I ran my faxaddmodem and
it got picked up. I'm now trying to figure out how not to have the system
Pick up ttyACM0 as the active modem which I physically removed. 

Kind Regards,

Ramon

Ramon,

The Agere Systems Venus Modem "
CLASS=0703
PCIDEV=11c1:0480

should be detected by:
$ sudo wvdialconf  /etc/wvdial.conf
Then remove the ; < > symbols while editing in your personal information by:
$ sudo gedit  /etc/wvdial.conf

Dial out with:
$ sudo wvdial
