I've been at this for month's and can't get help. The folks at linux certified started on this and then blew me off. I figured if I bought a certified linux machine I would be able to get help but mention Wvdial and everybody runs. Anyway they told me to create a myWvdial.conf file and edit it. the file was in root so I cp'd it to joe's user acount and it has full permissions. the file is still oewned by root@local host. Here is my last try....what's going on..anybody?
[joe@localhost ~]$ wvdial --config myWvdial.conf
--> WvDial: Internet dialer version 1.54.0
--> Cannot open /dev/ttySL0: Device or resource busy
--> Cannot open /dev/ttySL0: Device or resource busy

[joe@localhost ~]$ wvdial --config ./myWvdial.conf
--> WvDial: Internet dialer version 1.54.0
--> Cannot open /dev/ttySL0: Device or resource busy

Sorry, no modem was detected! Is it in use by another program?
Did you configure it properly with setserial?
