The permissions have to be changed to 'root.dialout' and you will succeed.
Did that, quit kinternet and asked kmail to check Mail in. Got the info Error unknown host pop.indo.net.id (my isp). Something does not seem so right. What did I do wrong. And when the wvdial runs, how do I stop the connection if I think it has been long enough for my dial up connection?
Regarding your kmail, you might want to make certain you have not misspelled something. That happened to me & wasn't immediately caught.
In Kmail no misspelling because it works with Kinternet.
As for disconnection... I put a desktop icon for application, and put the wvdial command, therein, as well as enabling 'run in terminal'. That way, one can minimize it & when you want it closed, just close the term.
First tried to use wvdial in a terminal and still get the info --> Can't read config file /etc/wvdial.conf: Permission denied Checked in the users and dialout is in the groups. Mode of wvdial.conf was 0600, changed that now to 0770. That allows me to wvdial from a user. But now the modem dies with following info: CONNECT 45333/ARQ/V90/LAPM/V42BIS --> Carrier detected.

And via the application window same without this text visible of course. pppd mode is set to 0775. Kmail: Something in your config just cannot be right! If you're connected, it should work just the same as w/kinternet or kppp.
Connection problems: You probably should also check 'pppd' to see that suid bit is set. One can add that to 'permissions.local' to set the permissions. The pppd file has the habit of changing back to non-suid. Until you get the permissions set you'll affect Kmail's ability to d/l e-mail, and it seems to me that you are not connecting properly if you get the msgs you specified.

Looked into the wvdial.conf after it was changed by wvdialconf I compared them with what should be set according to the man wvdial.conf According to the man pages e.g. stupid mode should be disabled by default. My config file did have it enabled. By default redialing after disconnect should be enabled. In my case after the command wvdial it states that reconnecting is disabled. Looked in the wvdial.conf and did not find anything that pointed to the reconnect. So there is a discrepancy between what is described in the man pages and the wvdial.conf I have got during instalation. My original config file looks like this: [Dialer Defaults] Modem = /dev/modem Baud = 115200 Init1 = ATZ Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0 Init3 = Area Code = Phone = 7517100 Username =abc Password =xyz Ask Password = 0 Dial Command = ATDT Stupid Mode = 1 Compuserve = 0 Force Address = Idle Seconds = 9[M V+0 DialMessage1 = DialMessage2 = ISDN = 0 Auto DNS = 1 Modem Name = Modem Type = Analog Modem How should it look like?

I guess the real problem is with idle Seconds = 9 in my wvdial.conf I am using 300000 -- Usuario Linux #339327 Seamos realistas pidamos lo imposible http://www.geocities.com/drgomezlabougle/
