Marvin, Well, I think we're closer - thanks again. I followed your suggestions and tried a number of different things. I added the correct phone, user and pass in the wvdial.conf. I changed the path to /dev/537 in Gnome PPP. More screen results below. ===== terminal results ===== rod@rod-desktop:~$ sudo ln -s /dev/537 /dev/ttySpctel [sudo] password for rod: rod@rod-desktop:~$ sudo wvdialconf Editing `/etc/wvdial.conf'.
