Nick, You have chosen the correct driver. $ sudo wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf sometimes does not find the modem port. You may try and create a wvdial.conf file like I instructed Robin to do, but in his case the modem is not responding. Maybe you can follow scanModem's advice here: For candidate card in slot 01:01.0, firmware information and bootup diagnostics are: PCI slot PCI ID SubsystemID Name ---------- --------- --------- -------------- 01:01.0 11c1:048c 11c1:044c Communication controller: Agere Systems V.92 56K WinModem Modem interrupt assignment and sharing: 15: 23507 IO-APIC-edge ata_piix --- Bootup diagnostics for card in PCI slot 01:01.0 ---- [ 0.108552] pci 0000:01:01.0: reg 10 32bit mmio: [0xfe5ffc00-0xfe5ffcff] [ 0.108561] pci 0000:01:01.0: reg 14 io port: [0xbc00-0xbc07] [ 0.108570] pci 0000:01:01.0: reg 18 io port: [0xb800-0xb8ff] [ 0.108611] pci 0000:01:01.0: supports D2 [ 0.108614] pci 0000:01:01.0: PME# supported from D2 D3hot D3cold [ 0.108619] pci 0000:01:01.0: PME# disabled The PCI slot 01:01.0 of the modem card may be disabled early in a bootup process, but then enabled later. If modem drivers load but the modem is not responsive, read DOCs/Bootup.txt about possible fixes. Send dmesg.txt along with ModemData.txt to discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx if help is needed. What does output of $ sudo lsmod | grep 'agrmodem' and $ sudo lsmod | grep 'agrserial' with $ dmesg | grep 'agr*.' and $ sudo ls /dev/modem -l and see if it is pointing at /dev/ttyAGR3 or similar? Joshua what would you recommend for Nick to try?
