Hi! I am not able to connect to net using wvdial as a normal user. when i give command
$wvdial ISP
it gives following message:
--> Cannot open /dev/ttyS1: Device or resource busy
But I can connect normally as root
The permissions of ttyS1 are as follows: crw------- 1 root uucp 4, 65 Mar 20 08:03 /dev/ttyS1
please guide
Or you other option could be 1) Change the rights and give group read and write permissions to the device. 2) Add yourself to the group uucp.
I think this should solve the problem.

make wvdial setuid root. man chmod for how to do this, and understand the consequences before you do.
