Do you do an # ifconfig eth0 down before you try to connect. You can also read more at LinModems Resource Page, look at the postinstall/wvdial sections. http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/wvdial.html http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/post-install.html HTH Antonio __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
