Antonio, It was the Rami with a cellphone that reported success Rami Daoud, If your initial query to this List, your ModemData.txt reported a 11c11040 chipset modem, but more recently a Conexant chipset modem. I will presume your System still has the Audio device: nVidia Corporation MCP67 High Definition Audio " CLASS=0403 PCIDEV=10de:055c SUBSYS=103c:30ea IRQ=21 HDA2=00:07.0 SOFT=10de:055c.HDA ArchivedChip=0x14f12bfa CodecClass=14f1 IDENT=hsfmodem Driver=hsfmodem-drivers ------ Presumably you have installed the hsfmodem driver package properly. In this case the modem should be activated during bootup, as can be checked with: $ lsmod | grep hsf which should display the drivers and $ ls -l /dev/modem /dev/SHSF* which should display the ports. Please run this check. Country selection is typically automatically done my the hsfmodem files in the /etc/* folders For this modem, the /etc/wvdial.conf is typically: [Dialer Defaults] Init1 = ATZ Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0 Modem Type = Analog Modem Baud = 115200 New PPPD = yes Modem = /dev/modem ISDN = 0 Phone = 198999 Username = 33331276 Password = 23337616 # Carrier Check = no Carrier Check is # commented our as it is rarely needed for Conexant modems. An X3 is needed in locations where phone line voltages are too low for dial tone detection, most typically in Italy. X3 means "start dialing without dialtone detection". Try without X3 first. If needed place it in the Init2 lines as: Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 X3 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0 To compensate for noisy lines, it is sometimes necessary to choose a lower compression protocol, though this is often negotiated automatically. You can try: Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 X3 &C1 &D2 +MS=34 as the most conservative test. If that works, try the faster Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 X3 &C1 &D2 +MS=90 Presently report back to the List, not directly to me.
