marvin, antonio, thankyou very much for your time (i really appreciate it) - i might get back to you when i get to another machine (fujitsu siemens amiloD laptop) with no other access but a dial-up one, but still no possibility of setting up a connection due to problems you are dealing with every day... i shall not unsubscribe from the group yet, because i want to give it a try with the other machine as well. There i haven't upgraded to 9.10 yet, so there might be less problems until the success! again thankyou very much regards basilis p.s. antonio, are you telling me that with a fresh installation of 9.04 in this machine, i would be able to set up a dial-up connection? 2010/1/11, Antonio Olivares <olivares14031@xxxxxxxxx>: > Βασίλης, > > Sadly the slmodemd packages don't work for kernels >= 2.6.31 :( > > From http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/smartlink/Ubuntu/ > > the packages like the one you have installed: > slamr-2.6.31-14-generic.tar.gz > > will sadly give you the NO CARRIER error like I have.
