dialup networking

[Roy Nickelson]

hi,
well it didn't work.  When I typed wvdialconf i got an error message.  so I
typed wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf.  This starts looking for the modem. but
it never finds anything and the program just stops with a line that says
usb 12 usb 13 usb 14 usb 15.

it just sits there after that and never gets to a prompt.

How can I see if the modem is even recognized by the os?  I am wondering if
that could be the problem it is a zoom v.92 pci voice fax modem.
Roy

try wvdialconf
that's w v dial conf with no spaces
all you do is answer any questions it presents you with and then when
it's done
you go and hand edit /etc/wvdial.conf if memory serves correctly and
then add phone number user and password.
you're good to go then. just run wvdial
that's w v dial with no spaces and it'll dial up for you.
hth.
