Hi Marvin, Your directions have been very clear. I'd properly edited wvdial.conf too. I'm sorry for neglecting to say. from the below terminal results: >> Found a modem on /dev/ttySpctel. >> Modem configuration written to /etc/wvdial.conf. >> ttySpctel<Info>: Speed 460800; init "ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0" >> rod@rod-desktop:~$ nano /etc/wvdial.conf >> rod@rod-desktop:~$ sudo !! >> sudo nano /etc/wvdial.conf Is wvdial using /etc/wvdial.conf or is it using a .conf somewhere else? I'm beginning to wonder if there are further options. Any ideas?
