meridianjumper 0 #1 July 10, 2006 I am having a bit of problems with connecting to an ISP through my wvdial connection. It used to work up until about 4 weeks ago. My current setup is RedHat 7.0 and I am using an external V.92 US Robotics 56K modem that is connected to the onboard serial port on my PC. When I run wvdial, it dials the number and then it will try to connect. After a short while of trying to connect, it will just give me the message of "No Carrier". I have used a new modem, a different serial port on the box, a different phone line, a different serial cable..... I can connect to it using a Windows box and hyperterminal, but no through my Linux box. Any ideas?? Blue Skies, Jeremy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

retreved 0 #3 July 10, 2006 Try using minicom. I am not familiar with wvdial, but with minicom you can pass AT commands directly to the modem to see if it responding and better determine what the problem is. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nathaniel 0 #8 July 10, 2006 Are there any log files being produced, or log messages sent to files under /var/log? Hmm...you could try using pppd instead of wvdial, at least that will give you something to try. Unfortunately pppd is a pain to configure.My advice is to do what your parents did; get a job, sir. The bums will always lose. Do you hear me, Lebowski? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
