Thanks for the reply I've updated the wvdial.conf file as advised [Dialer Defaults] Init1 = ATZ Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0 Modem Type = Analog Modem Baud = 460800 New PPPD = yes Modem = /dev/ttySL0 ISDN = 0 Phone = replacedisp# Password = pwdreplaced Username = anetat@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Carrier Check = No #Stupid Mode = 1 (First try to connect and upon a successful connection, then you may try GNOME-PPP.).....Sorry if this sounds dumb, but how do I connect without using GNOME-PPP?

First setup your connection as follows: Leave your connection as: aneta@ubuntu:~$ sudo slmodemd -c AUSTRALIA --alsa modem:1 SmartLink Soft Modem: version 2.9.11 Aug 3 2008 21:41:20 symbolic link `/dev/ttySL0' -> `/dev/pts/0' created. modem `modem:1' created. TTY is `/dev/pts/0' Use `/dev/ttySL0' as modem device, Ctrl+C for termination. aneta@ubuntu:~$ Fire up another terminal or tab and type the following: $ sudo wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf will scan and find your modem port, in this case it should be /dev/ttySL0 then you may hand edit the file /etc/wvdial.conf like $ sudo gedit /etc/wvdial.conf remove the ";" and "<", ">" and add your corresponding username, password, ISP phone number , a line "Carrier Check = no", a line with a "#" or a ";" in front of another line "Stupid Mode = 1". Making your wvdial.conf look like: [olivares@localhost ~]$ cat /etc/wvdial.conf [Dialer Defaults] Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 X3 &C1 &D2 +MS=90 <--- X3 disables checking for dialtone, +MS=90 helps with stubborn ISP's, you can change to +MS=34 if needed. Modem Type = Analog Modem Phone = YOUR_ISP'S_PHONE_NUMBER_HERE ISDN = 0 Username = YOUR_USERNAME Init1 = ATZ Password = YOUR_PASSWORD Modem = /dev/ttySL0 Baud = 460800 Carrier Check = No #Stupid Mode = 1 First try to connect and upon a successfull connection, then you may try GNOME-PPP. Report back presently.
