Amos, When you get flaky behavior with the modem, stop wvdial if necessary stop slmodemd with Ctrl-C unload the driver $ sudo modprobe -r snd-intel8x0m reload the driver $ sudo modprobe snd-intel8x0m and retest the modem. Our experience is that sometimes these drivers do lost function after a while when loaded.
