try wvdialconf
that's w v dial conf with no spaces
all you do is answer any questions it presents you with and then when 
it's done
you go and hand edit /etc/wvdial.conf if memory serves correctly and 
then add phone number user and password.
you're good to go then. just run wvdial
that's w v dial with no spaces and it'll dial up for you.
hth.

Hi, if you use wvdial it is very easy to get a dial up connection going.

1. Install wvdial.
2.Run wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf.
3. Whenwvdialconf finishes it should have a basic setup for your modem.
4. Edit /etc/wvdial.conf  and put in the phone number, username, and
password.
5. You are Ready to do wvdial & which will dial your modem if everything is
correct. Don't forget the & sign which puts wvdial in the background.
Hth.

you might wanna use nohup
e.g. nohup wvdial &
that way you can log out of that console if you need and use it for 
other tasks and not cut yourself off.

hi,
well it didn't work.  When I typed wvdialconf i got an error message.  so I
typed wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf.  This starts looking for the modem. but
it never finds anything and the program just stops with a line that says
usb 12 usb 13 usb 14 usb 15.

it just sits there after that and never gets to a prompt.

How can I see if the modem is even recognized by the os?  I am wondering if
that could be the problem it is a zoom v.92 pci voice fax modem.
Roy

I have one of those in my compaq, go to www.linuxant.com to get drivers for
it, most likely the HCF drivers (email me at garrettklein@hotmail .com or
kleins@iquest.net if you need more info about this, as you have to buy
license keys for full 56K access and such). BTW, I've never used wvdial, I
just used pppsetup and it used the /dev/modem link to /dev/ttyShcf0.

HTH,
Garrett
