Maurizio,
Sorry for delay due to travel.
Ok but have you executed wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf at least ONCE (as
sudo wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf ) and have done that WHILE SLMODEMD
RUNS IN ITS OWN WINDOW?
It does look like if you just skipped that test!
wvdialconf builds the configuration file /etc/wvdial.conf which wvdial
needs to establish the connection. If you skip that step then wvdial
does not know that slmodemd identified the modem, which looks exactly
like what you are observing.

Now I followed your instructions and a new step has been reached.
Modem is recognized, and wvdial seems to work, but...
afeter a few seconds the line gives up; here are the messages given by
wvdial:
"$ sudo wvdial

Many Thanks.
Maurizio.

have you left slmodemd running in its window and then started
pppconfig etc in an other window?
If you have stopped slmodemd then the driver slmodemd dissapeared from
memory and nothing can work.
Next, I strongly recommend that you solve problems one at a time.
Trust me, leave pppconfig away.
You tried wvdial: but have you run
sudo wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf
first?
This is what you should, ALWAYS WITH slmodemd RUNNING IN A SEPARATE
WINDOW.
wvdialconf will find your modem and prepare the file /etc/wvdial.conf
in which you need to edit as follows:
-remove the leading ; in lines username, password, phone
-replace the <blabla> right side of these lines by the good value
without the < >
-if missing, add a line
Carrier Check = no
and save
Then, just run sudo wvdial
wvdial will do the rest for you: let it handle pppconfig for you.
Jacques
