Daniel, When you reboot, the first thing to do is: $ ls -l /dev/ttySL0 /dev/pts/* which is not expected to as yet report /dev/ttySL0 $ sudo slmodemd -c CANADA --alsa hw:0,6 should set up the modem and create a /dev/ttySL0 --> /dev/pts/SomeN Leave slmodemd running, and open another console or TAB on the same one. Therein: $ sudo wvdialconf should report finding the modem. If so: $ sudo gedit /etc/wvdial.conf removing the symbols ; < > adding in your personal info and adding two lines: Carrier Check = no # necessary with /dev/pts/N ports Then try a dialout with: $ sudo wvdial report back presently MarvS scanModem maintainer On Sat, May 16, 2009 at 4:58 PM, Daniel Miguel <danielmp84@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Hello: > > I have problems with my modem and i need help > > I have a toshiba A105 -S2101 with Ubuntu 9.04 and my modem does not work > > I ran the scanmodem and the information is in the attached file > > > > > when I write this does not connect and comes in an infinite loop > > > > root@daniel-laptop:/# wvdial > --> WvDial: Internet dialer version 1.60 > --> Cannot get information for serial port. > --> Initializing modem. > --> Sending: ATZ > ATZ > OK > --> Modem initialized. > --> Sending: ATDT8314040 > --> Waiting for carrier. > ATDT8314040 > --> Timed out while dialing.
