I have a Apple PowerBook Pismo/FireWire up and running with Suse7.3PPC. I'm impressed by this distribution, but for some reason I can't get the modemn working - which is funny since Wvdial worked fine on the same machine with Suse Linus 7.1PPC.
I had the same problem (first after updating 7.0 -> 7.3, then again after complete reinstall), and ended up replacing wvdial 1.42 (the version on the 7.3 CD) with an older rpm (1.41) I had lying around. An ugly fix, maybe, but I forgot investigating further, as it has been working fine ever since.
(PowerBook Firewire 400Mhz with whichever internal modem Apple built into it, the problem was wvdial never getting to send the modem initialization string and just giving up at some point. No error messages on the console, nothing in /var/log/messages. No idea.)
Is there some public bug-reporting tool for stuff like this? I'm always willing to file bug reports, if needed :)
You already found the place to report bugs ;) Try to increase the modem port speed, the default is 57600 and that does not work for some modems, ibook1 as example. Does that help? Gruss Olaf -- $ man clone BUGS Main feature not yet implemented...
