Devon, When you installed the driver the first time, did you reboot the machine? if you did reboot, before you did $ sudo wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf did you run $ sudo modprobe agrserial $ sudo modprobe agrmodem before attempting $ sudo wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf if you did the above, and wvdialconf does not find the modem, would you mind posting the output of $ dmesg | grep 'agr*' Regards, Antonio On 1/3/09, D Brewer <interscientific@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Antonio, > > Thank you for your advice.
