Thank you for your response. Going to Report takes me to something that says I can only complain, not ask a technical question. I'm still coping with miserable Juno, which seems obsessed with Guam. I know I need a new computer, but I think Juno is a problem on its own. I hate to switch to another ISP because apparently I'll have to keep the two running concurrently until everybody switches over--which could take years--and I'll lose my e-mail address. I feel as though I'm driving a Model T in a Rolls Royce world.

If anyone is my friend here, it's you! :-)!

Thank you for your reply. You told me to click on the Report link at the bottom of my post. I can't find any Report link anywhere. Tech Guy is a great idea but trying to use it seems to be adding to my problems. And Juno is really going crazy, taking half an hour to get messages, then freezing. Is there a solution anywhere?

Dear lotuseclat79,
Me thinks that he has earned enough points and courage to ask you to be my friend! The"points" are i have installed fedora 11 Gnome on my new Toshba l 300 satallite notebook and am absolutely comfortable with it and feel that i should have done this much earlier! My friend has fedora 11 and he could /is a guide in learning the command line inter phase. I am still keeping the XP Pro on my desktop but that too "will" go!

Hi,

A friend of mine is looking for a section moderator + support team member for his computer

help forums.

Are you interested? Please let me know.

Cheers,

Hi Numbat,

Just copy the template copy you sent in your visitor message to a file. e.g. anyname.txt. Use only Init0 and Init1 and Init5 renaming Init5 to Init3 if you do not have a USR modem. Init2-Init4 are only for US Robotics (USR) modems. Replace all of the <...> with what they are, e.g. Phone = <replace with 7-digit phone number> becomes: Phone = 1234567 where 123 is the exchange and 4567 are the 4 digits that follow. Note: the separate field for the area code: Area Code = nnn, so, replace nnn with your area code (assuming you are located in the U.S.). Note: the difference between [Dialer phone1] and [Dialer phone2] - i.e. phone numbers are different. I have since moved the username and password of my ISP account name up into the [Dialer Defaults] section instead of repeating it in each [Dialer phoneN] section.

After editing, you must be the admin (root) user to copy the edited file into /etc/wvdial.conf on your Linux system.

Seen a post of yours re dial up modems where you said you have set up your modem with the following:

I also have setup the wvdial.conf file in /etc as follows:
[Dialer Defaults]
Modem = /dev/ttyS0
Baud = 115200,N,8,1
SetVolume = 2
Dial Command = ATDT
Init0 = HUP
Init1 = ATZ
Init2 = AT&F1E0Q0V1&C1&D2S0=0
Init3 = ATS7=60S19=0M1&M4&K1&H1&R2&I0B0X4
Init4 = ATS10=255S11=40&U30&N39
Init5 = ATDT;
FlowControl = CRTSCTS

[Dialer phone1]
Dial Prefix = 1
Phone = <replace with 7-digit phone number>
Password = <replace with your password>
Username = <replace with your username>
Area Code = nnn
Inherits = Dialer Defaults

[Dialer phone2]
Dial Prefix = 1
Phone = <replace with alternative 7-digit phone number>
Password = <replace with your password>
Username = <replace with your username>
Area Code = nnn
Inherits = Dialer Defaults

...


Could you tell me how to do that?
