In the file /var/log/messages you can find lines like this Apr 12 17:36:39 Erde /usr/sbin/rcwvdial.dod[4334]: starting pppd 192.168.99.1:192.168.99.99 /dev/ttyS4 Analog Modem 115200 modem crtscts defaultroute -detach user suse ipcp-accept-local ipcp-accept-remote usepeerdns call wvdial demand idle 180 connect "/usr/bin/wvdial^I--chat "... PID=4368 Launching the command ps ax | grep pppd shows that the pppd daemon is not running. Cause: The file /etc/wvdial.conf can contain more than one entry for the keyword Modem. This cannot be resolved correctly by the wvdial.dod script. ----------------------------------------------- <p> There are other tips for wvdial in the Support Data base. I had Wvdial working in SuSE 6.4 and it was grand. I can't remember which article from the support data base I used but the solution is there. Hope this helps Jonathan
