I have fedora 13 and a Data/Fax 56k modem and i try wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf and tell me no modem found.
It not a windows it did work on my ubuntu 9.10
I hope someone can help me.
Maybe we can, if you provide some actual details. Things like exactly what KIND of hardware you're talking about, how it's connected to your system, what kind of system you have, etc.
Right now, all we know is you've got a modem, you typed in wvdialconf, and it didn't work. Not alot for us to go on.
I use fedors 13 and i got a pc card modem for my dial-up.The pc card is Ambicom model: AMB8802 and i don't have minicom install could that be the prob?
I did try wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf that when it couldn't pick up the modem.
Don't bump your own thread after a few hours. We volunteer our time here to answer questions, and answer when we want to. And if you had bothered to provide decent information in your FIRST post, you would have had some sort of answer sooner.
that have sections that specifically deals with laptops and PCMCIA modems. Since PCMCIA is a bit old, make sure you've got the modules loaded, that are referenced in the docs.
You've been getting help, but appear to not want to put any effort into reading things. And again, don't bump your own threads after a few hours. If you're in such a big hurry, put Ubuntu back on your system where it was working, and be done. Otherwise, quit complaining about how long it takes to get help. Read the links I sent you in my post. They list the modules you should check, in detail.
Did you just try running wvdialconf to generate a new configuration? Do you have a /dev/modem device?? Have you actually done ANYTHING, other than typing in "wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf"??
I been doing alot of reading on it.Btw i don't have ubuntu with me at the cabin all i got is ppp.I even do more the type wvdialconf well look like that didn't work so.
If none will help me i wait to i get home and install fedora 13 all over again..

You know, after I spent time researching YOUR problem for you, and posting you links, to say "If none will help me I wait to I get home", is VERY rude. I have been trying to help you, but you don't seem to get it. I've asked questions you haven't bothered to answer, and given you links you obviously haven't read.
And if it doesn't work with FC13 NOW, why would you think it'll work with the SAME OS IF YOU RELOAD IT???? What do you think will have changed???
