wvdial doesn't find modem (kppp does) !#@!@

[Markvdakker]

Because i'have lots of troubles with kppp, i am trying to use another dialer->wvdial.
But...

wvdial doesn't find my modem, :mad: the strange thing is that kppp does find the modem on /dev/ttyS1.

Who can help me?

Thanks,
Mark

Here is sample thake from my own /etc/wvdial.conf:

[Dialer Defaults]
Modem = /dev/ttyS0
Baud = 115200
Init1 = ATZ
Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 S11=55 +FCLASS=0
Init4 = ATM0
Dial Command = ATDT
[Dialer Some-ISP]
Phone = 1111 222-3333
Username = some_user@some_domain.net
Password = some_passwd
Domain =
Nameserver =
Last = 0
;Be careful with editing this file...
;There should be no phone,username,
;and pwd settings in [Dialer Defaults]

Note the Modem line,and make sure it's poinitng to correct modem dev...also check wvdialconf which should configure your modem automatically.For more info consult man wvdial.Hope this helps.

I will try you /etc/wvdial.conf file when i'm back in linux again.
When i run "wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf" i get the error: "no modem found" so i wil try it manually. The strange thing is that kppp finds my modem on /dev/ttyS1 !?!?

Thanks, i will post the result later on (tomorrow).

Ps. I have read the man pages, but it didn't say anything usefull.

There's nothing strange about your modem being on /dev/ttys1 in PLBlaze's wvdial.conf you did change the

Modem = /dev/ttyS0

line to

Modem = /dev/ttyS1
right? because it seems thats where your modem is...

[Markvdakker]

Yes I did it (I not that stupid, no offense).
But thanks for your reaction

Since you have been trying to use kppp, it seems that you are interested in a graphical PPP utility. I am using VPPP, it works pretty slick and it is as easy to set up as anything in the windoze environment. ;)
