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)

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
