Re: Fw: IBM Thinkpad iSeries 1200 running Xubuntu 8.04 - modem help required.

Rick,

Upon opening a terminal shell and already having SLMODEMD running in
the background ie. i
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.

Fire up a tab or another terminal shell and try:

aneta@ubuntu:~$ sudo  wvdial

and cross your fingers and hopefully it connects without problems.
Report back if you succeed connecting :)

Regards,

Antonio
