Robin & all, I need to rectify my statement: From: I have noticed that wvdial does not detect the modem ports. Workaround this issue by supplying the modem port. If you have a symbolic link # ln -s /dev/ttyAGR /dev/modem To: I have noticed that *SOMETIMES* wvdial does not detect the modem ports. Workaround this issue by supplying the modem port. If you have a symbolic link # ln -s /dev/ttyAGR /dev/modem This has happened to me with the agrsm modems, namely 11c1:0620 and 11c1:0630 respectively, but I can still dialout with wvdial :), This is what I tried to state below. I am sorry for any confusion if I caused any, Regards, Antonio On 3/13/10, Antonio Olivares <olivares14031@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Robin, > > I have noticed that wvdial does not detect the modem ports. > Workaround this issue by supplying the modem port.
