No, it is not the only way but it allows for troubleshooting. Now you can try other dialers like KPPP and/or GNOME-PPP which may be found in menu's of your distro. > 1.1 If it's configured another way, will wvdial still work? wvdial should work as long as the information stays the same. If you change to GNOME-PPP for instance, it would not be a bad decision for you to make a copy of your working wvdial.conf file incase GNOME-PPP changes it. Please do a $ sudo cp /etc/wvdial.conf /etc/wvdial.conf.bak so that you can always refer to a working wvdial.conf file now with a .bak extension. > > 2.

IT is now normal. In newer kernels, slmodemd in general has to be restarted ==> stop, start so that wvdial or any other dialer for that matter can make use of modem port. I have to do this too without having to reboot :), otherwise it would be a mess to have to do the restarting every time. > > Thanks again for your help.....I've worked on this problem for months before seeking help on forums & now your site. > > Rick > Regards, Antonio > > > ----- Original Message ---- >> From: "Rick @ Yahoo" <r_vecranges@xxxxxxxxxxxx> >> To: Marvin Stodolsky <marvin.stodolsky@xxxxxxxxx> >> Cc: Discuss LinModems <discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> >> Sent: Thursday, 30 April, 2009 2:05:31 PM >> Subject: Re: Fw: IBM Thinkpad iSeries 1200 running Xubuntu 8.04 - modem help required. >> >> >> sorry just saw this email...will give this a shot & try connecting from the >> ground up without eth0 >> >> I'll report back ASAP. >> >> Thanks for all the help guys. >> >> Rick >> >> >> --- On Thu, 30/4/09, Marvin Stodolsky wrote: >> >> From: Marvin Stodolsky >> Subject: Re: Fw: IBM Thinkpad iSeries 1200 running Xubuntu 8.04 - modem help >> required. >> To: "Rick @ Yahoo" >> Cc: "Discuss LinModems" >> Received: Thursday, 30 April, 2009, 1:37 PM >> >> Rick, >> >> Before dialing out >> $ ifconfig >> SHutdown any COMM channels except "lo" with commands like: >> $ sudo ifconfig eth0 down >> >> Then you may not have to manually copy to /etc/resolv.conf to get DNS service. >> >> if there is success with: >> $ ping 203.84.217.26 >> PING 203.84.217.26 (203.84.217.26) 56(84) bytes of data. >> 64 bytes from 203.84.217.26: icmp_seq=1 ttl=47 time=237 ms >> 64 bytes from 203.84.217.26: icmp_seq=2 ttl=47 time=237 ms >> but a failure with the named address: >> $ ping yahoo.com.au >> PING yahoo.com.au (203.84.217.26) 56(84) bytes of data. >> 64 bytes from i1.aunz.vip.aue.yahoo.com (203.84.217.26): icmp_seq=1 >> ttl=47 time=242 ms >> 64 bytes from i1.aunz.vip.aue.yahoo.com (203.84.217.26): icmp_seq=2 >> ttl=47 time=242 ms >> Then it is only a DNS service problem >> >> MarvS >> >> >> >> >> >> On Wed, Apr 29, 2009 at 9:26 PM, Antonio Olivares >> wrote: >> > Rick, >> > >> > Things look better :) >> > >> > On Wed, Apr 29, 2009 at 7:37 PM, Rick @ Yahoo >> wrote: >> >> >> >> [sudo] password for aneta: >> >> --> 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: ATDT0198333130 >> >> --> Waiting for carrier. >> >> ATDT0198333130 >> >> CONNECT 52000 >> >> Unauthorised access to this computer system is prohibited >> >> User Access Verification >> >> Username: >> >> --> Carrier detected.
