745601	2009-02-07 06:52:00	Yeah, WTF wangfei:confused::confused::confused:? But besides, people are suggesting the whole business is my modem's hardware issue? I mean, I don't really want to switch to any crappy broadband (bad broadband is already a justified fact in NZ) for a premium (at least they don't worth that much), and I don't really want to change a modem when my old one is perfectly working (but how much would a hard modem cost, and where can I get them? I live in CHCH, which isolates me from Auckland) . Additionally, my dad's modem runs on Intel Ham driver, and I don't know whether it would matter if I make the switch . It's probably a soft modem as well, I'm not sure . *sigh* even my ISP wouldn't offer me technical support (actually it is said in the Agreement) . But does not offering technical support for Linux means that they won't hook me on if I'm running in Ubuntu? I use Kiwi Online, BTW .	LynX (14542)

Now Ubuntu would dial properly, but new problems had occurred . I ran sudo wvdial and got this: dm@dm-desktop:~$ sudo wvdial --> WvDial: Internet dialer version 1 . 60 --> Initializing modem . --> Sending: ATZ ATZ OK --> Sending: ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0 ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0 OK --> Modem initialized . --> Sending: ATDT087305656 --> Waiting for carrier . ATDT087305656 CONNECT 460800 --> Carrier detected . Starting PPP immediately . --> Starting pppd at Sun Feb 8 11:16:48 2009 --> Pid of pppd: 5979 --> Using interface ppp0 --> pppd: ��[06][08]��[06][08] --> pppd: ��[06][08]��[06][08] --> pppd: ��[06][08]��[06][08] --> pppd: ��[06][08]��[06][08] --> local IP address 202 . 150 . 121 . 137 --> pppd: ��[06][08]��[06][08] --> remote IP address 222 . 152 . 43 . 193 --> pppd: ��[06][08]��[06][08] --> primary DNS address 210 . 55 . 12 . 1 --> pppd: ��[06][08]��[06][08] --> secondary DNS address 210 . 55 . 12 . 2 --> pppd: ��[06][08]��[06][08] but it froze from there . So I stopped it with ctrl+c . Then this came up: Caught signal 2: Attempting to exit gracefully . . . --> Terminating on signal 15 --> pppd: ��[06][08]��[06][08] --> Connect time 0 . 5 minutes . --> pppd: ��[06][08]��[06][08] --> pppd: ��[06][08]��[06][08] --> Disconnecting at Sun Feb 8 11:17:17 2009 Then I tried with GNOME PPP, and the log gave me a better idea: Ignoring malformed input line: ";Do NOT edit this file by hand!" --> WvDial: Internet dialer version 1 . 60 --> Initializing modem . --> Sending: ATZ ATZ OK --> Sending: ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0 ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0 OK --> Modem initialized . --> Sending: ATM1L1DT087305656 --> Waiting for carrier .

Since PPPD seemed a good place to go, I typed sudo pppd and got this: ~�}#�!}!}!} }4}"}&} } } } }%}&}*�A . }'}"}(}"gu~~�}#�!}!}!} }4}"}&} } } } }%}&}*�A . }'}"}(}"gu~~�}#�!}!}!} }4}"}&} } } } }%}&}*�A . }'}"}(}"gu~~�}#�!}!}!} }4}"}&} } } } }%}&}*�A . }'}"}(}"gu~~�}#�!}!}!} }4}"}&} } } } }%}&}*�A . }'}"}(}"gu~~�}#�!}!}!} }4}"}&} } } } }%}&}*�A . }'}"}(}"gu~~�}#�!}!}!} }4}"}&} } } } }%}&}*�A . }'}"}(}"gu~~�}#�!}!}!} }4}"}&} } } } }%}&}*�A . }'}"}(}"gu~~�}#�!}!}!} }4}"}&} } } } }%}&}*�A . }'}"}(}"gu~~�}#�!}!}!} }4}"}&} } } } }%}&}*�A . }'}"}(}"gu~ I don't really know what that's talking about . So where's the problem? Thanks for everyone's help .	LynX (14542)
