[ubuntu-in] Connecting to dial up connection in Lansdowne, UA

[Anurag Mishra]

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.
