A few months ago, I installed F8 and tried to set it up for dial-up. I couldn't get it to connect (perhaps there were some problems with the install).
So, I re-installed F8 (formatted /, but left /home intact). I'm _still_ have problems - and it seems to be the same issue.
I had to modify wvdial.conf to get even this far (wvdial flat out refused to work with the default, as configged by Admin > Network).

Here is output (bad characters removed):

That much probably looks good. BUT, I can't do anything! (Actually, it will ping, but no www access.)
Network apparently has a problem with the setup - I activate the dialup config, and somehow it gets deactivated.
What's going on?

I don't know if the drivers have gotten better but when I used dial-up internet access with Linux several years ago, I had to get an external modem that I found in the Hardware Compatibility List (US Robotics, I think) before I could connect. I spent many hours trying to configure several Winmodems and never succeeded. Once I switched to a modem that was documented as being Linux compatible, it was easy.
