RE: [SLE] Need help:wvdial and /dev/ttyS0...
- From: lhedrin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (Les Hedrington)
- Date: Wed, 1 Sep 1999 09:32:00 -0700
- Message-id: <DED98566D452D311838300A0C9DEF7C827E71A@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
I had the same problem. It occurred when I did not exit the wvdial
correctly(I probably did Ctrl-C/Z or something to exit it) and then I tried
restart wvdial and I got the same error that you have. My solution was to
reboot so that it freed the com port. It seems that it occurred when I
started Wvdial with a user and then tried to use my connection with root.
I am not sure exactly what the problem really is. But I that was my
solution.
Thanks:-)
