@ mimoh_mi,
Were you able to help me with the dialup problem? When I could not get it working on my Redhat box on my laptop, I decided to install Ubuntu on my Desktop to try out the Ubuntu steps you gave. I could not even get Ubuntu to recognize my modem. When i ran wvdialconf wvdial.conf, i got the following;
steve@ubuntu:~$ sudo wvdialconf wvdial.conf
Scanning your serial ports for a modem.
ttyS0<*1>: ATQ0 V1 E1 -- failed with 2400 baud, next try: 9600 baud
ttyS0<*1>: ATQ0 V1 E1 -- failed with 9600 baud, next try: 115200 baud
ttyS0<*1>: ATQ0 V1 E1 -- and failed too at 115200, giving up.

Sorry, no modem was detected! Is it in use by another program?
Did you configure it properly with setserial?
So once again, I am stuck. At least with Redhat am able to communicate with the modem but with ubuntu, no dice.
By the way, I am using a serial cable not USB
Look forward to hearing from you
