Hi, Sorry to be sending this via Outlook but all of a sudden I can't use wvdial in Debian. It's been working successfully for me for about 4 months. Then this morning I typed in: wvdial, and got this response:
"Cannot open /dev/modem : permission denied". Does anyone have any idea what might cause this? The only things I've done recently that aren't daily operating procedure is experiment with a web page using apache/mysql on localhost from netscape. The only other clue I have is the last line in dmesg: "Cannot cd to /usr/local/var: permission denied." I think I tried to run that command sometime last night before the problem occurred. I don't have permission to cd to /usr/local/var so the message isn't surprising. I'm just not sure if it has anything to do with this problem. Thanks for any ideas, Ken
