sudo wvdialconf , not just sudo , and same further with wvdial.
Linux being multiuser, you do not want to expose the ISP access
parameters, right?
Needless to say, this POSSIBLE reason for your failure is not sufficient
if does not fix the problem, and Marv's request, "no snip", is absolute.

Extracts from ModemData.txt below at end. My machine is a Dell Inspiron
4000, with a Lucent Mars/Apollo DSP chipset. I've downloaded the latest
martian-full driver pkg, along with libc6-dev and linux-libc-dev for my
Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy Gibbon) OS. Following instructions in AgereDSP.txt,
make-all and make-install completed with only warnings.
However, as the following console transcript shows, something's amiss:
o The martian version loaded is apparently 20061202, not 20071011
of the package name
o modprobe seems to indicate that the system can't find the modem
o wvdialconf can't find the modem, either
What am I missing, and how to fix it?

Sorry, no modem was detected! Is it in use by another program?
Did you configure it properly with setserial?
