Jacques:
I edited (entered my home phone number - correct?), userid, and p/w,
then did
$ sudo wvdial and get the following (I replaced my phone number w/
xxxxxxxxxx)--
--> WvDial: Internet dialer version 1.60
--> Initializing modem.
--> Sending: ATZ
ATZ
OK
--> Sending: ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0
ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0
OK
--> Modem initialized.
--> Sending: ATDTxxxxxxxxxx
--> Waiting for carrier.
ATDTxxxxxxxxxx
NO CARRIER
--> No Carrier! Trying again.
--> Sending: ATDTxxxxxxxxxx
--> Waiting for carrier.
ATDTxxxxxxxxxx
NO CARRIER
********************************
At this point I picked up the reciver of the phone and heard a recorded
message that "message could not be recorded",
and the command was disconnected due to no dial tone.
I must not be doing something correct. Should I download efax and efax-gtk
at this point?
TIA,
Bill Lowther
