Forrest, Which dialer are you using? If you do not mind, to answer then, if you are not using wvdial, please try to do so and send us: ## To make a logfile wvdial.out $ sudo wvdial 2>&1 | tee wvdial.out It would be good if you read Modem/DOCs/wvdial.txt to get a few ideas and send us wvdial.out to check what is happening and see how can we help/advice.
