Hi Marvin,
From the previou replies I received, I removed the';' from the front of
the lines with my details in /etc/wvdial.conf. I then ran:
sudo wvdial
with the following results:
--------------
curwood@ubuntu:~$ 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: ATDT086725327
--> Waiting for carrier.
ATDT086725327
NO CARRIER
--> No Carrier! Trying again
-------------------
I ended up using ctrl+C to cancel the attempt as it kept looping the
same action.
I then saw your last email saying that I needed to add the line:
Carrier Check = no
to /etc/wvdial.conf
which I did I added the line to the end of the file. Then I tried
sudo wvdial
again with the same result as above. I then tried moving the position
the the 'Carrier Check = no' line in the /etc/wvdial.conf file to see if
that helped. I tried this several times in several different possitions
but I still get the same result.
At the moment the /etc/wvdial.conf file looks like this:
----------------
[Dialer Defaults]
Init1 = ATZ
Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0
Carrier Check = no
Modem Type = Analog Modem
; Phone = <Target Phone Number>
ISDN = 0
; Password = <Your Password>
New PPPD = yes
; Username = <Your Login Name>
Modem = /dev/ttySL0
Baud = 460800
-----------------------
Thanks for all your help so far. each time I get a reply I get one step
closer to being able to connect to the Internet from Ubuntu.
Cheers,
John Curwood

Additionally for modems thus using a /dev/pts/N port, currently those
activated by slmodemd or martian_modem, there must be added to
/etc/wvdial.conf a line:
Carrier Check = no
because /dev/pts/N ports do not yet support this capabiity.
