Fantastic!! I am responding to you from the modem/machine in question.
Everything worked as you said except that the 'modprobe agrserial' had
no messages returned. I did the 'ls -l /dev/ttyA*' you mentioned
earlier and the device was there, so I continued.
Now, as you said, the automation.
Thank you.

The drivers must be loaded to dynamically create /dev/ttyAGS3. Under
current Linux devices are in RAM space and do not survive shutdown.
ALL needed devices are created up and/or ONLY when there drivers are
installed.
So the steps are as Root:
# modprobe agrmodem
# modprobe agrserial
which should report creation of /dev/ttyAGS3.
If so
# ln -sf /dev/ttyAGS3 /dev/ttySAGR
Check for success with:
# ls -l /dev/ttyAGS3 /dev/ttySAGR
(these steps can be automated later, but best to Understand first)
If successful, then test for recognition with:
# wvdialconf

I will respond to both to you Marvin and Antonio in this note.
First, Marvin, no apologies are necessary. I went back to review and it was
my fault on the command. I mistyped 'ln' as 'ls'. I just hope that mistake
did not cause what I am about to report.
I booted the machine and, based on your comment, I started to re-execute the
commands provided earlier. Unfortunately, when I tried
ls -l /dev/ttyA*
the message said that no files were found. I know when I did this earlier,
it showed up.
Second, Antonio, I created the wvdial.conf as you suggested. However, the
wvdial.out simply shows several lines of /dev/modem cannot be found. I
presume it is because the commands from Marvin would not work.
Thank you both for the help.

Apologies,
# ls -sf /dev/ttyAGS3 /dev/modem
should have been
# ln -sf /dev/ttyAGS3 /dev/modem
which will break /dev/modem -> ttyS0
and instead set /dev/modem -> /dev/ttyAGS3
additionally also do
# ln -s /dev/ttyAGS3 /dev/ttySAGR
because wvdial checks all /dev/ttyS* links

I retried KPPP using both /dev/modem and ttyS0 and both still show the

Thanks.

After the drivers are loaded, there should be a report that

Check with ls -l /dev/ttyA*
Then set up a symbolic link:
# ln -sf /dev/ttyAGS3 /dev/modem
Check with:
# ls -l /dev/ttyAGS3 /dev/modem
Then you can test use with /dev/modem
The step
# ln -sf /dev/ttyAGS3 /dev/modem
must be redone upon every bootup for now.

I know you prefer to test with wvdial, but because I am still having
problems getting wvdial and wvstreams installed, I tried dialing out
with
KPPP and get the same message about the modem being busy. I am trying
to
connect with the dev/modem device. I looked thru the list of available
modems trying to find one that used AGR or something similar, but there
was
none.
Thanks for your continued help.

Martin,
Loading will be OK, I expect, if you as root,
# modprobe agrmodem
# modprobe agrserial
Then run
# ./agrsm-test
The problem which we can fix later is that the /etc/modprobe
file/line
for pre-loading agrmodem before agrserial is not yet present.
We can fix this later.
Test and report back.

When I noticed the FATAL, I did find the file(device?) at the
location
specified in the error message, so now I am stumped (again).
Because the test noted that wvdial did not exist, I tried using
KPPP
to
connect and all I get is a message about the modem being busy.
I am trying to get my hands on wvdial, but that requires wvstreams,
which
will not install for some reason. So, I thought I would pass along
what
I
can in the hopes that there is enough there to help solve the
problem.
Thanks.
