Ralph for your modem Intel Corporation 82801FB/FBM/FR/FW/FRW CLASS=0703 PCIDEV=8086:266d SUBSYS=103c:0934 IRQ=22 SOFT=8086:266d.MC97 CodecDiagnosed=SIL27 CodecClass=SIL IDENT=slmodemd Driver=snd-intel8x0m You may have to periodically $ Ctrl-C in the console in which you started slmodemd Then load and unload the driver: $ modprobe -r snd-intel8x0m $ modprobe snd-intel8x0m and reactivate the modem with the: $ sudo slmodemd --alsa -c USA modem:1 leave it running. Open a 2nd console or TAB $ sudo wvdialconf should find the modem. Edit in your personal info with: $ sudo gedit /etc/wvdial.conf deleting the symbols ; < > while intering your personal info, and adding a line: Carrier Check = no Save. This wvdialconf step does not have to be repeated, though you may want to further edit /etc/wvdial.conf Try a dialout with: $ sudo wvdial Note that gnome-ppp is a front end for wvdial, but uses its own configuration file in your home folder, .wvdial.conf where the "." means hidden. We recommend using wvdial manually before trusting gnome-ppp Then once you get stable dialouts with wvdial, you can run the gnome-ppp setup. You likely will have to maually add the "Carrier Check = no" with $ sudo gedit .wvdial.conf Please query further to the List, not me directly.
