Can't get Thiz Dialup to recognized Modem

[James Lawrence]

James,

   Thank you very much for your help. I will test out your approach with 
help from my UNIX colleague. I am almost certain I am dialing out using 
the terminal window which runs in UNIX and uses wvdial because I get 
messages back from the modem like "Carrier detected" and then "PPP 
negotiation detected" and then "Start ppd" and then "PPP daemon has 
died! (exit code=19)". It hangs up and tries again.  How do I get on the 
KDE-Linux list? Much thanks again!
