Thanks you so much guys I've backed up the wvdial.conf & have configured the MR script as recommended. I'll stick with and pass on vmdial. Thanks for helping me out. I've learn so much along the way. I'll update all this info (and give a plug to Linmodem) & close my call on Launchpad for other linux newbies. A job well done and keep up the good work. I've had this prob for months......I can't thank you enough.

First stop wvdial with: Cntrl-C Then unload and reload the driver: $ sudo modprobe -r snd-intel8x0m $ sudo modprobe snd-intel8x0m Restart slmodemd $ sudo slmodemd -c AUSTRALIA --alsa modem:1 This can be done from your home folder, as it finds /usr/sbin/slmodemd Being in Desktop/SLMODEMD.gcc4.2/ is not necessary Then try: $ sudo wvdial You can try putting his in a script mr (for modem retest) $ sudo gedit /usr/locl/bin/mr with the following lines: #!/bin/sh killall wvdial modprobe -r snd-intel8x0m sleep 0.1 modprobe snd-intel8x0m echo "Restarting slmodemd" /usr/sbin/slmodemd -c AUSTRALIA --alsa modem:1 #end Make executable with $ sudo chmod +x /usr/locl/bin/mr Use it with: $ sudo mr and then the usual: $ sudo wvdial Sorry but I must relate that other dialers have not been found to be reliable with slmodemd usage.
