Βασίλης Please send to the List, not directly to me as I only have a little time on-line in the weekday evenings. Please use wvdial, for which gnome-ppp is only a less informative graphical interface, though the two use different config files. wvdial reads /etc/wvdial.conf while gnome-ppp reads a hidden ./wvdialrc (or similar) file in your home folder If not already present use $ sudo gedit /etc/wvdial.conf to add a line: Carrier Check = no Even then some problems are expected under 2.5.31 kernels. But get that far.
