Steve Have you read the README that comes with wvdial? I had the same problem and the solution is to create the configuration file (/etc/wvdial.config). May I have some feedback from you?

Why, nobody is sure. Not even wvdial has an answer. It absolutely can't find my modem. So I have gone back to trying Kppp since it could at least dial out, and what do I learn but that I needed to enter commands in a script (duh) and I never tried this before. See the light bulb over my head? :) Expect login Send my login-ppp Expect password Send my password This is all logical, but it sticks at the password part and I get disconnected. Here is my question (finally): does the password need extra text, same as my login needed to have -ppp added to it? Or is there a 5th command that is needed? Such as "Start ppp"? Additionally, at the suggestion of my ISP, I have renamed /pap-secrets so it wouldn't be used. That isn't a problem here. Advice? Thanks.

That's just the problem. When wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf is attempted, it can't find the modem so no file get's created. My modem is nailed down to IRQ12, I have used setserial since it's supposed to fix it, but it doesn't. I can't go beyond that step and the help from wvdial, though thorough, doesn't have a solution. I would love nothing more than to see wvdial work for me since Kppp is dreadfully slow and still not working for me. I just can't make it find my modem.

I am curious. What kind of modem do you have? Have you taken a look at your modem manual to see how to change the IRQ on it? Wvdial has just worked too well for me and I can't image that we can't get it working for you.

This is a Diamond Supra Express 336i PnP asvd. Love those long acronym rich titles, don't you? I have one on each of my machines. On one box, my BIOS is easily told to leave the PnP crap alone. The other board is nearly brand new and not so easy to fiddle with. I don't know yet if I can manually change the IRQ or not, but I am willing to try. I do remember this modem being VERY difficult to setup even under the "miraculous" Windows 95. In fact, I haven't heard anyone else mention this modem except to say they couldn't make it work in Linux. :/ Actually, Avery Pennarun from WVDial has just sent me an extensive set of options to try. I am of course short of time this weekend. I'm a photographer, so Saturdays are my game. I will stay in touch, Ken. You, also, have been extremely helpful. Thank you.

I would be very interested in anything you could forward me from Avery as I am writing a html on connecting with Linux for my ISP and I am sure I will run into this again.

I certainly know about weekends as a photographer. Years ago, I worked as a photographer on the New York/New Jersey society circuit. Shot 700 weddings in five years as I recall. Got to the point where they didn't make enough scotch and aspirin to get me through another one ;-) Ended up doing livestock photography in Texas at $1,500/day. -- ================================================================== Ken Archer - San Antonio, Texas "As soon as I get all my email - karcher@idworld.net penquins in a row I'll get right on it..."

That is on my office 'puter. I will forward it when I go there today. I seldom save email but I have at least been printing out what he says so I can take it home with me. I may just retype it all.

The imagery this conjures up....from over prepped brides to cattle....I can certainly sympathize. Weddings are the absolute epitome of stress. I would take the cows any day. I was raised on a dairy, after all. My preference is for graduates. You know, the "perfect" age. They are very a very gratifying crowd to work with; full of hope and enthusiasm, not wisdom and reality. It's a nice peek over the fence. I have a buddy in SA who used to be a photog. He works for Advantage Telcom now. Pressure sales, I believe. :) I know he's good at it.
