Marvin, this evening I was trying to make several additional try with the modem. Even if the PC does not want to recognise the modem, I think that the name of the port is /dev/ttyS0 because when I tell GNOME PPP to "connect", using that port the modem lights dance (even if it is not connecting). You can find the Log as follows: /home/mario/.wvdial.conf<Warn>: Ignoring malformed input line: ";Do NOT edit this file by hand!" WvDial<*1>: WvDial: Internet dialer version 1.56 WvModem<*1>: Cannot set information for serial port. WvDial<*1>: Initializing modem. WvDial<*1>: Sending: ATZ WvDial<*1>: Sending: ATQ0 WvDial<*1>: Re-Sending: ATZ WvDial<Err>: Modem not responding. Do you have any idea about what can be done?
