If you install the package sl-modem-daemon, then
sudo modprobe snd-intel8x0m
sudo slmodemd --alsa -c USA modem:1
will be done automatically on bootup, so there will only be necessary:
$ sudo wvdial

OK, it's working now. Thanks for your patience and help.
In order to access the internet, it is now necessary to open a terminal
window, and enter these commands:
sudo modprobe snd-intel8x0m
sudo slmodemd --alsa -c USA modem:1
Then open another terminal window, and enter:
sudo wvdial
Is it possible to set something up so that clicking on an icon in the
task bar will do all this? I am pretty much of a newbie at Linux, and
will need pretty explicit instructions.
I looked at a number of posts in the Ubuntu forums, and found out how to
launch wvdial from a task bar icon, but it wasn't clear how to combine
all three commands.
Again, thanks for your help.
