Ankur, $ sudo slmodemd -c INDIA --alsa hw:0,6 Can now be done within your home folder After the successful > modem `hw:0,6' created. TTY is `/dev/pts/1' Run in a 2nd console without closing slmodemd $ sudo wvdialconf the modem should be found. This step does not have to be repeated upon reboot Now do the edit $ sudo gedit /etc/wvdial.conf This step does not have to be repeated. See the sample information in the wvdial.txt $ sudo wvdial should now find the modem at /dev/ttySL0 and start a dialout If in doubt, send us your wvdial.conf first replacing your PASSWORD with XXXX MarvS On Sat, Sep 5, 2009 at 12:04 AM, Ankur Joshi<pharmankur@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Marvin > Sorry I forgot to add following output in my earlier mail ... > > ankur@ankur:~/Desktop/SLMODEMD.gcc4.3$ sudo slmodemd -c INDIA --alsa hw:0,6 > SmartLink Soft Modem: version 2.9.11 Aug 3 2008 22:31:06 c > modem `hw:0,6' created.
