Can you do a $ sudo ls /dev/ttyHSF0 -l for us please and reply back to this message. Also check output of $ sudo lsmod and post its contents here. Maybe $ hsfconfig --dump or something similar to above also will help. > > > Again I ran sudo gedit /etc/wvdial.conf and the result was the same. > > [Dialer Defaults] > Init1 = ATZ > Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0 > Modem Type = Analog Modem > Phone = ******* > ISDN = 0 > Username = fpcharnock@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > Password = 45merrie > Modem = /dev/ttyHSF0 > Baud = 460800 > > > The config file always has the phone number-password -username etc. and > when I dial it always says they are not there.

Try the above commands, and report back to us. Also sorry for my comments, but I got frustrated seeing no progress.
