The GNOME-PPP tool discussed here is another option: http://www.osnews.com/story.php?news_id=7253 As the article states, it does provide a solution for something "sorely missing" from GNOME, even in 2006. Reassigning to distribution. Network Manager is unrelated to modem dialers Has anybody packaged this for Extras? Can't include a package that doesn't exist... Its pretty late in the game to add a new package also.... I'm confused. How does system-config-network *not* solve this? Hello Bill, It does not support external USB modems. I have logged a bug with GNOME about this, too. There is no provision for USB ports in the drop-down list and whilst you can type it in, this will not connect to the modem. It is not an unsupported device at the kernel level as KDE's kppp does find it. It seems to be GNOME-specific, so using a GNOME dialler like the tool mentioned would resolve this. system-config-network is not a GNOME tool, it's a Fedora tool. So issues with USB modems are probably best handled there. Out of curiousity, if you manually edit the wvdial.conf/ifcfg file after running system-config-network, does it work? Some prior bugs about s-c-n and USB: Bug 102368 Bug 177472 Bug 109671 "Out of curiousity, if you manually edit the wvdial.conf/ifcfg file after running system-config-network, does it work?" Don't know. I will have a look at it when I go home tonight. Thanks for your interest in this. Based on the date this bug was created, it appears to have been reported against rawhide during the development of a Fedora release that is no longer maintained. In order to refocus our efforts as a project we are flagging all of the open bugs for releases which are no longer maintained. If this bug remains in NEEDINFO thirty (30) days from now, we will automatically close it. If you can reproduce this bug in a maintained Fedora version (7, 8, or rawhide), please change this bug to the respective version and change the status to ASSIGNED. (If you're unable to change the bug's version or status, add a comment to the bug and someone will change it for you.) Thanks for your help, and we apologize again that we haven't handled these issues to this point.
