Ugh. An AT string to my modem responds "OK" but when trying to dial minicom, Kermit, respond "no dial tone". Efax responds "Error: dial command failed", and then "done, returning 2 (unrecoverable error). I am pretty sure creating the link on /dev/ttyS4 worked, because using minicom on port /dev/ttyS4 AT returns OK. Gnome-PP does not detect a modem on /dev/ttyS4. Wvdial conf shows this: andrew@ubuntu-11:~$ sudo wvdialconf Editing `/etc/wvdial.conf'. Scanning your serial ports for a modem.

Is it in use by another program? Did you configure it properly with setserial? Please read the FAQ at http://alumnit.ca/wiki/?WvDial In summary: I think the driver is working because (certain programs on) the computer can talk to the modem. Wvdial and Gnome-PPP still don't know there is a modem there, and the utilities that can talk to the modem (minicom, Kermit, efax) return a "NO DIAL TONE" error when they try to call anything (for efax error see above).
