When I re-boot and "sudo wvdial" the links /dev/ttySAGR , /dev/ttyAGS3 are not there. After "sudo modprobe agrmodem and sudo modprobe agrserial", I can then "sudo wvdial" and it appears to connect, but the support person at my IP says there's nothing at that end. There is no sound from the modem as there is when using the windows system. If I listen in using a phone, it sounds right. So 3 questions: 1/ Why do I have to re-load the drivers? 2/ Is there something else that has to be set up? 3/Can it be set up to use the Network Manager instead of WvDial?
