Hi Vinesh,

Thanks for response.
I have Tata Indicom CDMA 1x USB modem SCX-1080.
After running comand 'wvdialconf/etc/wvdial.conf', It give error
bash: wvdialconf/etc/wvdial.conf: No such file or directory.

I tried to run the command 'sudo gedit /etc/wvdial.conf'. It give error
sudo: gedit /etc/wvdial.conf: command not found.

Need some more help as I am new user of Linux & using it first time.

With Regards,
Anay Kuvalekar.

the command is:

wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf

you missed a space

if you are using kde you need to use:

kdesudo kate /etc/wvdial.conf

Try those.

Yes Anay,

try same commands with space.

Hi Vinesh & actionparship,

I tried with space.
After typing command wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf
I get message: The program 'wvdialconf' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing: sudo apt-get install wvdial. bash: wvdialconf: command not found.

After typing command sudo apt-get install wvdial, it ask for password. After entering password it gives following
Reading packages lists ..... done
Package wvdial ps not available, but is reffered to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been absoleted or is only avalable from another source
E:Package wvdial has no installation candidate.

Please let me know where I will get wvdial package?

With Regards,
Anay
