Hello and thanks a million to those who have responded to my request for taking some of your precious time to help me out.
I downloaded wvdial and minicom like some of you suggested and wvdial cannot find my modem. I sent a message to them like they suggested because I am 100% sure that my modem is in Com3. For some reason Linux is not detecting it in ttyS2. Has anyone have this kind of problem before ===> wvdial not detecting their modem even when it is there and is working properly under windows? I checked the compatibility list and mine seems to be supported by Linux. It's a US Robotics 56K Voice INT. I have Slink base system. Any input? This is really confusing. I thought the garbage test I was receiving when I typed pppd was a sign that the modem sent a signal. Although I never here the modem dialing out. By the way, I did the fixes that some of you suggested. But no luck. I still don't get dial out. I do not even here a diatone. \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ \_ Isabelle Poueriet \_ \_ [EMAIL PROTECTED] \_ \_ http://www.bway.net \_ \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ Q.
