Wvdial, Pon Broke On Sarge-Stable, Only Pon works On Woody-Done Everthing I Know-Need Help
Discovered wvdial and pon not working after finally getting the
2.4.27-2-386 KI to boot. Ran wvdialconf and
pppconfig which didn't change anything. Chmod a+rwx on all wvdial and
wvdial.conf files. Some Debians may
say that's not the way, but I don't want to use su and don't have to on
pon, so why on wvdial. I've also added
my UID to all the appropriate groups. It's a single user Desktop PC.
Discovered a couple items that wvdialconf left out; no init3=ATDT and no
New PPPD = yes. They were both in the conf file in Sarge Texting, but
both woody/sarge became non-functional due to / becomming full. Believe
they are required; if not please correct me. I added them to all three
wvdials in /etc/wvdial.conf, /etc/X11/wvdial.conf,
/home/lchata/wvdial.conf. The phone, UID and Password entries in
/home/lchate/wvdial.conf were commented out. Reviewed the pap- and
chat-secrets files and didn't see anything suspicious to me but, I am a
realative newbie. Also googled and read all related manuals and checked
bug report#276020 and didn't find any thing revelant except for the ATDT
dial command. I also changed /dev/modem to read /dev/ttySHCF0. Wvdial
and pon still don't work in sarge and wvdial doesn't work in woody but
did before the sarge dist-upgrade. I give up; don't know what else to
do without quidance. Message output from wvdial and my wvdial.conf
files are below: My mind is a little foggy right now, please ask for
any other info needed. And thanks for any help; I'm at a dead end.
PLEASE copy my email address; not subscribed and easier to format replys.
