Denver
A few issues.
1) ATDT33001
33001 seems a rather strange dialout number. What is the full number
of the IP (Internet Provider) that you are trying to log into?
If you have to go through a switchboard, it is generally necessary to
introduce a pause, using a comma. Each comma sets a one second delay
such as 2 seconds in:
Phone = 3,,3001
if 33 is the switchboard access.
2) The files established by the
$ sudo ./setup
do provide for automated activation of the modem upon bootup.
You can check after bootup with:
$ lsmod
and near the top of the list of loaded modules there should be:
slamr
ungrab-winmodem
You can also filter for just these lines using "grep"
$ lsmod | grep ungrab
$ lsmod | grep slamr
Also port creation should have occurred during bootup, check with:
$ ls -l /dev/ttySL0 /dev/pts/*
whose output should include a line like:
/dev/ttySL0 --> /dev/pts/2
3) There is a kernel issue beyond our control, that typically blocks
successive dialouts under one slamr loading.
Thus between successive dialouts, cause unloading and reloading of drivers with:
$ sudo /etc/init.d/sl-modem-daemon restart
which will unload and reload the drivers and then run
$ sudo slmodemd -c USA /dev/slamr0
Running slmodemd manually once it has been activated already, upon
bootup, may be contributing to your Segmentation fault.
If is OK to do all manually. The command sequence would then be:
$ sudo /etc/init.d/sl-modem-daemon stop
unloading drivers with:
$ sudo modprobe -r slamr
$ sudo modprobe -r ungrab-winmodem
reloading:
$ sudo modprobe ungrab-winmodem
$ sudo modprobe slamr
Activating the modem:
$ sudo slmodemd -c USA /dev/slamr0
which should announce the /dev/ttySL0 --> /dev/pts/2 (or some other number)
Then to dialout, open a 2nd console and:
$ sudo wvdial 2>&1 | tee denver.txt
The 2>&1 is necessary to pass through error messages.
During your next report, do include the output after a dialout attempt of
$ dmesg > dmesg.txt
Attach the dmesg.txt in a report back to the List, not direct to me.
