Pablo had the following problem .............
I have a problem to connect with a modem from my Linux machine to a Linux server (modem is working, as other people can connect).
The problem seems to be that my modem does not understand when it gets connected to the remote modem. First of all, to dial I have to use ATX1DT instead of ATDT, I do not know why. After the modems are connected, the "typical noise" comes and it never stops. I never get the login prompt.
===========================================
Pablo,
i hope u r using wvdial, (if not use it! its good). anyways, in wvdial.conf there is an option "Carrier Check". disable it. u will have to edit wvdial.conf in /etc directory. just add Carrier Check = No in the file. this should do the trick.
and the gvc modem cannot understand the usual mtnl tones so ATX1D instead of ATDT!!
regards sagar

Hello again,
Check". disable it. u will have to edit wvdial.conf in /etc directory. just add Carrier Check = No in the file. this should do the trick.
I tried this and it does not work. Actually, the problem seems to be some "misunderstanding" between the modem and the telephone exchanger (PBX box?) of the institute. I can access other direct lines with no problem. The one that I have problems with is an extension number of the institute. Perhaps my modem (GVC 33Kbps) is too old (more than 3 years old) and I should buy some D-Link.... Any suggestions about a good modem?
