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??
Thanks for the help and pointing me in the right direction of where to start.

How do I establish a dialup connection in grml 0.3? I config'ed wvdial and tried to start it but but I get "/dev/ttyS0 not recognized". My modem works on other linux partitions and is on ttyS0. It is in the directory in grml under /etc/dev. Thanks for the help. Let me know if you need more details. Jeff
What does wvdialconf say? Regards Nico
