Can dial if I
modprobe slamr
/usr/sbin/slmodemd --country=nz /dev/slamr0
In one shell
and then
echo "atdt0800555013" > /dev/ttySL0
in another shell
or run
wvdial
it will dial ISP but will not send ID and Password Correctly.
Yipeee! at least it dials sigh!
Used /etc/wvdial.conf to setup

KPPP still says modem busy
could put slmar in modules.conf I guess

[root@mordor leftfieldnz]#dmesg

Use `/dev/ttySL0' as modem device, Ctrl+C for termination.

Try kppp while running previous!
kppp says modem busy!

kppp using /dev/ttyS0

suggestions
Did you use other software like `minicom` to verify this ?

Check your /etc/resolv.conf file and make sure that the namservers are set up correctly Then on the command line (root) do a wvdial. Had similar problems ourselves until SuSE came to our rescue!

> #echo -e "ATZ\n">/dev/ttyS1
> Adjust Volume to high.
> #echo -e "ATL1M1"\n">/dev/ttyS1
> Try Dialing.
> #echo -e "ATDTxxx-xxxx\n">/dev/ttyS1
> If you succeed, you will hear the dial and recieve a busy signal.

echo "atdt" > /dev/modem
echo "atdt" > /dev/ttyS0
echo "atdt#####" > /dev/ttyS1

where ##### is the number you would usually dial to connect to your ISP. You should hear a dialtone (if you are connected to a phone line) for a second, then hear the modem dialing the number, and possibly an answer from the other modem. If you aren't connected to a phone line,
you'll get nothing.

check to see if the serial device is being initialized on boot:
dmesg | grep ttyS

cat /proc/interrupts
cat /proc/ioports
dmesg | grep -i ttyS0
modprobe serial

minicom -s
rmmod slmar

alias char-major-212 slamr

symbolic link
ln -s /dev/ttySx /dev/modem

type cd /etc/rc.d. Fire up your favorite text editor, and edit the rc.local file. Add your setserial command on a line before the "fi" statement. It will automatically be set every time you boot. Please note: J.t.Qbe pointed out to me that this paragraph is specific to Red Hat and its offspring. Check your Linux distribution's documentation for information on running commands at boot-up time.

Also check /etc/nsswitch.conf and make sure a line like
hosts: files dns

Hostname
One final item, especially for Redhat systems, make sure that your give your machine a name (any single word name you want). You can set it with
hostname
But you also want to change it permanently. In Redhat/Mandrake, put the line
HOSTNAME=
into /etc/sysconfig/network. On other systems I am not sure, but you could alwaostname command at the end of your rc.local file. This is not essential to running ppp, but if you do not do it, you will find yourself unable to run any X application while running ppp.

rpm -qa wvdial-1.53-3mdk.i586.rpm
then
wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf
then edit
/etc/wvdial.conf
add phone, id password
run
wvdial and it dials ok
