i've typed out this: sudo gedit /etc/default/sl-modem-daemon and change the default country from YOUR_COUNTRY to your NEW_ZEALAND.
Then inform the slmodemd by rebooting or $ sudo /etc/init.d/sl-modem-daemon restart $ ls -l /dev/ttySL0 /dev/pts/* /dev/slamr0 should report these ports setup, and also after any reboot, with * being some number N, /dev/tttySL0 -->/dev/pts/N is a symbolic link to the real port, some /dev/pts/N So to dail out, all that should now be needed is $ sudo wvdial successfully linked to /dev/ttySL0 but don't quite know what is going on with the rest..... BUT DIALING OUT OK BUT THEN NO CARRIER ISSUE...DISCONNECTS AFTER DIALLING DOESN'T REACH VERIFICATION OF LOGIN DETAILS -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/976178 Title: package sl-modem-source 2.9.11~20100303-2 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sl-modem/+bug/976178/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
