Re: [ubuntu-in] Connecting to dial up connection in Lansdowne, UA
Hi All, As an update... I instructed them using the step 1 on page http://www.ubuntugeek.com/setting-up-dial-up-connection-in-ubuntu.html , but the modem connection doesn't activate and dial at all. To check the modem, I asked them to use wvdial and the output showed that no modem was found at /dev/modem. I asked them to wvdialconf and I guess it tried to search modem and said it didn't find the modem or it was busy. They cannot install anything else since they do not have internet. Any guidance would be extremely helpful. I think the modem is installed and doesn't get activate somehow.

Hi All, Thanks for your offer for help. My parents are in Lansdowne, Uttaranchal. I tried to help them again and it looks like the drivers of the modem are not installed. I am not sure how can I help them regarding that without internet. Anurag On 4/8/07, Bhasker C V < [EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Hi, The 17 works fine but the area prefix must not be entered. There are 2 parts 1. seeting the location 2. setting up the dialup connection in both places avoiding the STD prefix will only help connect. If your parents are in chennai you can mail me and i can help them out directly. thanks On Sun, 2007-04-08 at 00:59 -0400, Anurag Mishra wrote: > Hi, > > My parents have a Dell 5100 Laptop.
