Hello JeffM,

I finally figured out what I was doing wrong. wvdialconf said: 'sorry can't find your modem' the wvdial.conf file i wrote had modem set to /dev/ttyS0, but, actually, no such device was listed in /dev. So I did ./MAKEDEV /ttyS0 which was wrong. 'don't know how to make /ttyS0' error returned. Then tried ./MAKEDEV ttyS0 and it worked. Then I did setserial -a /dev/ttyS0. Then wvdial works. I come from a Slackware/KDE environment and not familiar with these issues.
One question still: Isn't there a way to get back to a command line prompt once wvdial gets you connected without going to another virtual console??
No it seems that wvdial doesn't work in the background. Regards Nico
Any help on this issue of mine please??:
So now ttyS0 disappears when I reboot and I have to ./MAKEDEV ttyS0 again each time. What file do I have to edit (somewhere in the boot scripts?) so that it stays or is created at bootup? Again, thanks very much for the help . Jeff (larval stage)
