John You must run wvdial as root, for example : $ sudo wvdial To have slmodemd launched automatically at startup, you have several options. The easier one is to install the Ubuntu package for it: $ sudo apt-get install sl-modem-daemon which should launch automatically at each startup. Don't forget to edit the config file at /etc/defaults/sl-modem-daemon.
