Clive. The modem symbolic link is /dev/modem -> ttySL0 The slmodemd set symbolic link is /dev/ttySL0 -> /dev/pts/1 -------- shows that the modem is already being propertly setup. I presume you have installed the sl-modem-daemon package, providing slmodemd. So the SLMODEMD package is unnecessary. The modem should be detected by: $ sudo wvdialconf Edit in your personal information with: $ sudo gedit /etc/wvdial.conf putting in your personal information, while deleting symbols ; < > and adding a line Carrier Check = no Then try a dialout with: $ sudo wvdial Unfortunately successes with the CHIP=0x10573055 have been rare. Only one that I can recall. Please send further messages to the list, not directly to me.
