RE: It seems that if I'm going to do a Ctrl-C to disconnect the modem, i need to do a sudo /etc/init.d/sl-modem-daemon restart and then sudo wvdial ---------- Correct for modems using the slamr driver including your: 0703 Modem: Motorola SM56 Data Fax Modem Primary device ID: 1057:3052 If is necessary to unload and reload the slamr driver between dialouts, which is done during the $ sudo /etc/init.d/sl-modem-daemon restart This is due to a change a few releases ago in the Linux kernel. We have filed a bug report on this issue, but because slamr has a closed source component, we are not confident that a repair/fix will be implemented. you might make a file called mym (for mymodem) with two lines: #!/bin/sh /etc/init.d/sl-modem-daemon restart and make executable with: chmod +x mym and thereafter start it with: $ sudo ./mym MarvS On Sat, Jun 26, 2010 at 3:22 PM, <beepzapmdm.amabel@xxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Thanks, Marvin.
