Hi,
I asked once before but no joy so shall try again. Despite having the line
Carrier Check = no
in wvdial.conf I often (most of the time) find that I spend ages getting the message 'waiting for carrier' and then autoredialling. Any suggestions as to what more I should do? Using the same account the kids win95 box dials straight in so I feel sure the problem is at my end.
Many Thanks
If it's an external modem, try cycling the modem power on/off/on. I had similar problems awhile back, I think it had something to do with the serial line not releasing the line. Cycling the power did it.

Unfortunately its pcmcia - I suppose it could be 'ejected then inserted' either the hard way or via the commandline - would thathelp me?
If you can't get it going, I can send you some command line scripts that should work to get ppp up. Another thing to look for is: under add user in yast, make sure the "access to modem" box is checked for each dialout user.

Another afterthought is can you get mimicom to work? When you start minicom it should give you an "OK" back when you type "ATZ" If it dosn't work, what happens?

When I woke up this morning after a good night's sleep, I remember a problem I had with my laptop pcmcia modem. The pcmcia modem was conflicting with the serial port irq. You have to disable in system bios the serial port that your pcmcia modem gets assigned at boot time. Watch the pcmcia boot messages, note which com port your pcmcia modem gets assigned, such as ttyS1 or ttyS2. Then disble the corresponding com port in your system bios. Or use a pcmcia utility to change the address and irq that gets assigned to your card.
