Oh you are welcome. By the way, was there a problem to begin with? Oh.. you can't run the programs, why not? Did you run the so called program gwedit as it suggested? Was it not found? Did it crashed when running? What exactly happened afterwards? Or you have not tried running the program gwvedit?

Gtkdial... first time I hear of that program, I'll go give it a look. As for wvdial, why won't you even tell us what error message you get when you try to run it? As far as I know, it's as simple as editing your /etc/wvdial.conf file and then just running the program.

of course i tried running gwvedit..useless ..no program called gwvedit...and tried the wvdial.conf file...changed the ttySHSF0 to modem...nothing happened....

Well, when I tried to get gtkdial myself, I noticed that it does not brings gwvedit, you have download and install that program separately... go figure. As for the wvdial configuration, you can use the program wvdialconf (which should come with wvdial) to query your modem and set up a basic wvdial file. You would do something alone the lines of 'wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf', it should probably locate the modem at /dev/modem or /tty0 or wherever the modem is and then write down a basic file which you can modify later. Hope you are more lucky this time... to configure your wvdial.conf, you can read the man page about it (man wvdial.conf), altough I bet the gwedit program might be just as good to configure the file (if you can't configure it from gtkdial, since, afterall, gtkdial is just a nice frontend to wvdial).
