Make sure that you have a line:
[Dialer Defaults]
before the "Modem" line and that Modem= and Baud= are on separate lines.
SetVolume = 4
Dial Command = ATDT
Init1 = ATZ
Init3 = ATM1L4
FlowControl = CRTSCTS
[Dialer choicenet]
Username = "my username"
Password = "my password"
Phone = xxxxxxx
Stupid Mode = 1
Init1 = ATZ
Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=1 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0
Inherits = Modem0
This "Inherits = Modem0" may also be confusing things. Try commenting
it out.

Hi
I went over my notes and discovered that they were not as complete as
needed to be. As a result I decided to reinstall FC3, and get a fresh start.
I first used the network configuration application to configure the
dialup. This time the modem came up as ttyS4.
I got mesage:Cannot activate network device xxxxxxxx Failed to activate
xxxxxxx with error 8
Logged on yyyyyy@localhost, I opened a terminal and entered the command
tail -f /var/log/messages, and got cannot open tail -f /var/log/messages
for reading: Permission denied
Someone suggested that I log on to a terminal as Su_-. I entered Su_- at
the command line and got: bash:Su_- command not found
Did they mean that I reboot, and enter Su_- at user name prompt?
How and where do I invoke Su_-?
I understand that it is not wise to make changes to wvdial logged on as
root!
I then entered wvdial and got
-->WvDial: Internet dialer version 1.54.0
-->Warning: section[Dialer Defaults] does not exist in wvdial.conf.
-->cannot open /dev/modem: Device or resource busy
-->cannot open /dev/modem: Device or resource busy
-->cannot open /dev/modem: Device or resource busy
I logged out, and then tried to log in, entering Su_- at Username
That did not work, so I logged in as root.
I then entereed wvdial, and got:
-->WvDial: Internet dialer version 1.54.0
-->Warning: section[Dialer Defaults] does not exist in wvdial.conf.
-->cannot open /dev/modem: No such file or directory
-->cannot open /dev/modem: No such file or directory
-->cannot open /dev/modem: No such file or directory
I then entered: /etc/wvdial.conf , and got:
bash: /etc/wvdial.conf: Permission denied
/etc/wvdial.conf
How can I execute the command /etc/wvdial.conf with out getting
permission denied? I am assuming that since that I am logged on as
root@localhost that I would have the permission.
I noticed at the login screen there is a button to select session. is
there a particular session that I should be logged on to?
Is there a way to log onto a terminal as super user, while I am logged
on as xxxx@localhost?
