Re: Need help setting up SmartLink Modem

[Jaysen Johnson <jaysen@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Marvin,

Ok, I tried that and this is what I get

jaysen@jaysens-laptop:~$ sudo wvdialconf
[sudo] password for jaysen:
Editing `/etc/wvdial.conf'.

Scanning your serial ports for a modem.

Modem Port Scan<*1>: S0   S1   S2   S3

ttySL0<*1>: Max speed is 460800; that should be safe.
ttySL0<*1>: ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0 -- OK

Found a modem on /dev/ttySL0.
Modem configuration written to /etc/wvdial.conf.
ttySL0<Info>: Speed 460800; init "ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0"


So it looks like it found it.  Then when I try to dial out with 
gnome-ppp.  This is what happens.  Note, I attempted to dial out with 
and without SLMODEMD running with the same results.

jaysen@jaysens-laptop:~$ sudo gnome-ppp
