I have been busy elsewhere (building a computer for a friend of mine) and haven't been reading the thread and if you have already done what I suggested some time ago then you can send me an abusive e-mail :-).
You said above "or it's the modem itself." One of the things I suggested was for you to get hold of another modem and see if you still come up with the same problems. I think in an earlier message you said that you would try and (?)borrow another modem for this purpose but I don't know if you did.
The other thing, what exactly is the initialising string(s) that you send to the modem in SuSE?
No abuse!!! I'm not able to return my modem for another one. I've been tryin to fix this problem for so long that I passed the timeframe of the distributors "return policy". AAARGH!!! I am trying to contact the manufacturer to see if they will replace it with an external, or refund me (according to warranty). I am still within the warranty period, so... Unfortunately, I don't have another modem to try at present. Here's the main init strings that I have used for this modem: The init string that was default in windoze, plus a few related S Registers (Tested successfully in windoze. No difference in SuSE.): AT&F1E0Q0V1&C1&D2S0=0S6=8S7=60S10=200S19=0S25=20L1M1&M4&K1&H1&R2&I0B0X4 The init string that was default upon using wvdialconf (Same as Yast default.): AT Q0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0 All the init strings that I have used are prefaced with a first init of ATZ. One other thing I just noticed in my windoze log, is that there was a 3rd init string: "ATDT;" before the normal dialing start of "ATDT". My understanding from the manual is that the " ; " returns the modem to command mode after dialing. I have not been using this in SuSE, yet it is used by default in windoze. I'm testing it right now. I'll report back if anything new happens. Thanks everyone!!! Bernd -- "If you want to build a ship, don't drum up the men to gather wood, divide the work, and give orders.
