Do I need to download an slmodem? It may be the wrong site for me to checkout, but I suppose Gentoo is built similarly to Ubuntu? A n00b question, I know. :pHave a read of this: Installing the sl-modem driver For me it was as easy as these simple steps: Downloading and installing linux-headers-2.6.10-5-686 and sl-modem-source and all the packages they depended on (most importantly the module-assistant) using apt-get. Change directory to /usr/src and extract the driver source executing: tar jxvf sl-modem.tar.bz2 Running module-assistant auto-install sl-modem-source to compile and install the new driver. Downloading and installing sl-modem-daemon package which was not possible until after I compiled and installed the sl-modem module with module-assistant. Editing the /etc/default/sl-modem-daemon init script and changing SLMODEMD_COUNTRY=USA to SLMODEMD_COUNTRY=SWEDEN. <Jamuz, try SLMODEMD_COUNTRY=NZ here, should work> Restart the computer to see if the slamr module was loaded correctly and that the slmodemd was started with SWEDEN as country instead of USA. Since wvdail was already installed I only had to run sudo wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf Then I edited /etc/wvdial.conf and add the appropriate username, password and phonenumber to it and also added X3 (meaning "dial without waiting") making the INIT2 string look like this: Init2 = ATQ0 X3 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0, and uncommented the line Carrier Check = no otherwise it wouldn't connect for me. Then I ran sudo wvdial and it worked! From here (linmodems.technion.ac.il) I know its about a Travelmate, but the basics are there for you :)	Myth (110)
