Hi all. After about 2 weeks of compiling kernals and drivers, I have finally got my winmodem to work on my laptop Well, sort of anyway. I can run wvdial and my computer dials and connects to the net, but when I start mozilla or try to get my emails, I cant get them to work. So my question is, with wvdial, and a connection running, is that connection open to all programs? I've tried to configure my connection with the wizard, but when I try to connect I get errors (error 2). Also how do I tell if the connection is still open as the terminal window doesnt say anything once the connection is established. And also how can I get my modem to load at start up. It is a slmodem 2.9.7. Thanks.
