I've installed Agere LTmodem in 10.10 using latest martian-full-20100123 but cannot dial out either as user or root. Both sudo wvdial and sudo gnome-ppp indicate error as follows: --> WvDial: Internet dialer version 1.60 --> Cannot open /dev/ttySM0: Input/output error - on subsequent wvdial -No such file or directory --> Cannot open /dev/ttySM0: No such file or directory --> Cannot open /dev/ttySM0: No such file or directory I have as root investigated /dev/ttySM0 file as follows: In 10.10 link is broken to "/dev/pts/1" which doesn't exist THIS SEEMS TO BE THE PROBLEM - solution is beyond me! In 9.10 link is to "/dev/pts/0" which exists ----------------------------------------------- HISTORY I have followed MARTIAN FOR LUCENT AGERE MODEM TUTORIAL of 23/5/2008 by Mark Rijckenberg http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=804378 to install and set up Agere LTmodem in Ubuntu 8.04 and 9.10 and now 10.10 as /dev/ttySM0 I identified modem and installing correct drivers for modem, edited /etc/wvdial as detailed and can dial out successfully from terminal by command sudo wvdial or gnome-ppp in 9.10 which I have currently retained until I can dialout from 10.10 wvdial.config file in 10.10 is identical to 9.10 as follows [Dialer Defaults] Init1 = ATZ Carrier Check = no Stupid mode = 1 Modem Type = Analog Modem ISDN = 0 Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0 New PPPD = yes Phone = 0198331341 Modem = /dev/ttySM0 Username = ******@adam.com.au Password = ****** Baud = 460800
