Thank you, Jacques, I did figure out that my problem from my last post
was that I had not configured the file by calling wvdialconf. Thank you
for your clarity.
So after running wvdialconf, I configured the file as follows:
[Dialer Defaults]
Init1 = ATZ
Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0
Modem Type = Analog Modem
Baud = 460800
Modem = /dev/ttySL0
ISDN = 0
Phone = 7054579564
Password = XXXXXXXX #hidden for the purpose of this email
Username = XXXXXXXX #hidden for the purpose of this email
And ran sudo wvdial:
$ sudo wvdial
--> WvDial: Internet dialer version 1.56
--> Cannot get information for serial port.
--> Initializing modem.
--> Sending: ATZ
ATZ
OK
--> Sending: ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0
ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0
OK
--> Modem initialized.
--> Sending: ATDT7054579564
--> Waiting for carrier.
ATDT7054579564
NO CARRIER
ERROR
--> No Carrier! Trying again.
--> Sending: ATDT7054579564
--> Waiting for carrier.
ATDT7054579564
NO CARRIER
So, NO CARRIER. What is it looking for and how do I give it what it wants?
Thanks,
Anita.

1-In one window, sudo slmodemd etc...

Instead, you did sudo wvdial /etc/wvdial.conf
but wvdialconf and wvdial are NOT the same thing. These are two
DIFFERENT commands. One configures the modem once for all, the other,
wvdial , makes the connection
You must run wvdialconf as shown, at least ONCE, while slmodemd IS
running
wvdialconf will find your modem
Edit the file /etc/wvdial.conf (username, password, phone . Remove
leading ; and < > containers and replace parameter in container by
value given to you by your ISP )
Only NOW can you try, as many times as you like sudo wvdial
and note, NOT sudo wvdial /etc/wvdial.conf , just sudo wvdial
wvdial knows that it has to use /etc/wvdial.conf
And just to make sure: slmodemd MUST also be running while you try
wvdial

Thank you, Jacques, you are entirely correct. I do not understand
the procedure.
However, when I sent
Results from second terminal with first terminal running slmodemd:
that was my way of saying that I had done the first step as you
outlined:
1-In one window, you start slmodemd and DO NOT STOP IT
And when I also submitted:
anita@anitas-computer:~$ sudo wvdial /etc/wvdial.conf
Password:
--> WvDial: Internet dialer version 1.56
--> Warning: section [Dialer /etc/wvdial.conf] does not exist in
wvdial.conf.
--> Cannot open /dev/modem: No such file or directory
--> Cannot open /dev/modem: No such file or directory
--> Cannot open /dev/modem: No such file or directory
That was my way of demonstrating that I had:
2-In an other window you start
sudo wvdialconf /etc/wvdial./.conf
And I was hoping for:
which should find your modem
And perhaps I mis-interpreted the result, but when I read:
--> Warning: section [Dialer /etc/wvdial.conf] does not exist in
wvdial.conf.
--> Cannot open /dev/modem: No such file or directory
--> Cannot open /dev/modem: No such file or directory
--> Cannot open /dev/modem: No such file or directory
I took that to mean that it couldn't find the modem.
So I am wondering how to find the modem.
Thanks,
Anita.

When wvdialconf exits and has found a modem, you EDIT
the file /etc/wvdial.conf to set username, password, phone
as in
username = tartempion
phone = 0123456788
password = sunday_times
After editing, you start wvdial as
sudo wvdial
and you do NOT stop wvdial until you want to close the phone call.
You cannot use these two windows for anything else until you have
ended wvdial and slmodemd

Anita,
Just to clarify on Antonio's terse comment.
After the successful:
$ sudo slmodemd -c CANADA --alsa hw:0,6
leave slmodemd running.
Open a 2nd console or new TAB on the same one and run the
$ sudo wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf
If this step succeeds:
$ sudo gedit /etc/wvdial.conf
and edit to a format like that below.
Afterward with slmodemd still running, try a dialout with:
$ sudo wvdial
Please report back to the List, not to me directly:

Did you CTRL+C to do sudo wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf ?
open up another terminal or session and then type
$ sudo wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf
That should find your modem, and get you setup. Please report
back if
you have trouble/questions.
