While the slmodemd from SLMODEMD.gcc4.3.tar.gz was in place at: /usr/sbin/slmodemd I executed the tail command from one root shell while running wvdial from another. The sequence was, 1) unplug ethernet line, 2)execute tail command, 3) Switch terminal windows, & execute wvdial, allowing it to redial twice {while I was listening in on other phone extension and could hear a modem squeal} before terminating wvdial with ^C 4)reconnect ethernet, 5) Switch terminals and terminate tail with ^C As you can see the dialout attempt wasn't logged... I'm thinking that this must be because ppp wasn't initialized???
