Alright I'm back Again!!!
OK so here's where I'm at, RH 8 on a compaq laptop tried to get my modem=
working with some drivers I downloaded, didn't work. Someone suggested I=
try wvdialer or minicom. Now being brand new to linux I was a little con=
fused so searched the net to find more info. found a bit here and there t=
hen started experimenting.
So here is where I'm at right now. I'm trying wvdialer. logged in as root=
I typed wvdialer. here is the response.
-->Wvdialer: Internet dialer version 1.53
-->Warnig: section [Dialer Defaults] does not seem to exist in wvdialer.c=
onf.
-->Inintializing modem
>Sending: ATZ
ATZ
OK =20
-->modem initialized
-->Configuration doesn't specify a valid phone number
or login in name or password.
SO OK I'm thinking this means I need to configure wvdialer. Problem is I =
don't have any clue how to do this.
I tried [root@localhost etc]# wvdialer.conf
which didn't work but I'm not surprised because I'm pretty clueless about=
command lines and I kind of make them up til I find one that works (not =
as root though, that scares me)
Anyway I realize I have posted a lot of questions as of late and I'm amaz=
e at the amount of help I've gotten, but I have spent a lot of time on th=
e web trying to figure stuff out before I come here. =20
Thanks
