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?
