I've got Wvdial working, very easy, very nice. I do have one problem with it. I can only run it from root. When I set up my user account I gave it access to the modem. But when I try to run WVdial from user I get
--> Cannot open /dev/ttyS1: Permission denied
It works fine under root. Any ideas what to do?
Try adding your user to the uucp and dialout groups if you haven't already done that. And check if /dev/ttyS1 has the proper permissions (owner: root, group: uucp, mode: 660). Ciao, Stefan
