Hello&SMS (Save my Soul)
I'm dealing with this for some time:
I've installed proper driver (from Philippe.Vouters),
but wvdial doesnt recognize modem.
However, with gnome-ppp, I can conect to the internet,
modem is working, dialing number, etc.
But there is no traffic. I can't load any page in the
browser, i can't ping...
Simply, doesn't know where to look.
(sorry for my english)

Support type needed or chipset: INTEL536EP
In 2006, Intel appears to have ceased updates for
Linux.
For the INTEL537 and INTEL536 chipset modems, the
most current support is provided at:
http://phep2.technion.ac.il/linmodems/packages/intel/Philippe.Vouters/
But regular support is not available, see:
http://archives.linmodems.org/24939
:
The outdated official Intel support packages can be
accessed through:
http://developer.intel.com/design/modems/support/drivers.htm
Read Intel.txt and Modem/YourSystem.txt for follow
through guidance.
Writing Intel.txt
Completed candidate modem analyses.
The base of the UDEV device file system is:
/dev/.udev
Versions adequately match for the compiler installed:
4.1.2
and the compiler used in kernel assembly:
4.1.2
Kernel-header resources needed for compiling are not
manifestly ready!
If compiling is necessary packages must be installed,
providing:
linux-headers-2.6.20-15-generic

To enable dialout without Root permission do:
$ su - root (not for Ubuntu)
sudo chmod a+x /usr/sbin/pppd
or under Ubuntu related Linuxes
