Richard, et all, I finally got the PCTEL modem to connect. Last thing I changed was: I filled in the isp2 lines in WvDial.conf. They were marked as XXXX-XXXXXX here but on the PupDial modem internet dialer they were filled with lines of code (?) so I didn't mess with em. I also clicked the dumb mode...

OK'

Got the correct DSN numbers in the resolv.conf file, preceded with 'nameserver' as per Richard's example.

On dial-up I get the normal sounds and then the message:

Login failed, reason -
(-190,mrcga44ev,1271108126-000,atlga03rs09pr002)

I have no clue what that means!

By a mis-click I deleted the 'connect' icon from the pinboard.

I hope there is an easy way to replace it, or go back to the 4.3.1 default
pinboard / desktop.

All help is both needed and appreciated.

So where do I go to re...

Moving to 'Dialup' section of this forum.

I got Puppy 4.3.1 up and running without to much trouble. My modem was recognized, but when I changed dial command from ATDT (tone dial sounded normal) to ATDP, I now get a little click about once per second, not the usual pulse dial sounds, then: Waiting for carrier! No carrier! Trying again. There...

Flash, I have since found the modem folder and changed ATDT to ATDP. This eliminated the tone dial but the pulse dial does not work properly. It gets a 'waiting for carrier' message followed by 'no carrier' and then 'try again'. About 18 lines down in the status log, I read *** Warning! Line *115200...

I have the puppy 4.3.1 up and running. It automatically recognized my modem and dialed 'tone' right off the bat. But, I am at a loss about how to access and reconfigure the wvdial to the non default 'pulse' setting. I found one note in the archives about 'pulse dial' and downloaded the patch to my w...
