Dial Up Connection In Ubuntu 10.10

There are many people get some difficulties when they try linux for the first time. And one oof the best thing that can annoy a beginner is the difficulty to use the dial up modem for their main connection to the internet. Most of them use the network manager applet that laid on the pannel,but some of them found problems,they can connect to the internet but they can't browse the internet. It's normal,if you use the network applet . But,it can be resolved by using wvdial. But you can only run it on the terminal. Here are the steps :
1. Plug your modem on the computer.
2. Install wvdial in you terminal, by typing 'apt-get install wvdial' ... if you are connected with online/offline repositories,but if you are not connected then you must download the wvdial and dependencies then install it.
3. after installing, type 'wvdialconf ', and wait for the wvdial to check the existance of modem.
4. After finish the wvdialconf command,then you have to write 'gedit  /etc/wvdial.conf ' .
5. Then write this to the wvdial.conf


[Dialer Defaults]
