It appears to be the perfect reference for<br>> my needs, as my unit is the very LG CDMA fixed wireless terminal, LST-260B<br>> model for which directions are given. I followed the directions very<br> > carefully. But once the installation is complete, it says that to go online,<br>> in terminal one should type "wvdial". When I do that, I get the reply:<br>><br>> WvDial<*1>: WvDial: Internet dialer version 1.56<br> > WvDial<Err>: Cannot open /dev/ttyACMO: No such file or directory<br>><br>> But when I browse to the above-list location (/dev/ttyACMO), there is indeed<br>> a file there by that name. So I do not understand why it has not worked.<br> <br>Did you write it correctly in the configuration file as ACM0 (the last<br>character is zero, not o).</blockquote> <div> </div> <div> </div> <div>You are right! I changed it back to ACM0 (zero), and now it accepts all three initialization strings, and then goes on to show the following:</div> <div> </div> <div>sending: ATDT#777</div> <div>CONNECT</div> <div>Carrier detected.

According to the tutorial, it should be the last four digits of the phone number, which is what I put in the conf file. But I should add here that in Windows, the password and username are both the ENTIRE phone number (excluding the first zero). So I tried changing the password to the entire phone number in this way, but still I got the same error message as appears above.</div> <div> </div> <div>What do you think can be the problem?</div> <div> </div> <div>Suranjan</div> <div><br> </div>
