Hi, I think I'm having a similar problem to Anita Kuno.
I've spend most of yesterday trying to get dial up to work and a couple hours today and so I finally seek help. I'm not sure exactly what to do because I seem to have found different walkthroughs between the ubuntu help site and the text files included in /modem from scanModem. Here's what I've been doing based on what I understand:
(you should know that I am running of a live CD and so everything is reset, etc.)
I unpack SLMODEMD.gcc4.1.tar.gz, follow the instructions given in its textfiles al the way to sudo slmodemd -c CANADA --alsa modem:1 which creates /dev/ttySL0
I then open another command line window(can't think of the proper name at the moment), then I follow the instructions I found on the ubuntu help site. I use:
$ sudo wvdialconf, which makes the wvdial.conf file. Then I enter $ sudo nano /etc/wvdial.conf, to modify the file by adding the phone number, username and password. I also add Carrier Check = no . Then I enter $ sudo wvdial and I get a similar response to John:
WvDial Modem: ATDT6133501638
> WvDial Modem: NO CARRIER
> WvDial: No Carrier! Trying again.
I also never hear a dial tone or any dialing coming from my computer although I don't know if I'm supposed to. I really hope that some one can help me because this is becoming discouraging.
Thanks in advance, Andrew
P.S. Here's some extra information that may be useful. Somewhere in ModemData.txt, it says that the archived modem doesn not agree with the detected one. My modem has been replaced since initially buying the laptop and so that might be the reason although I do not fully understand this stuff. Also, do I need to install linux-lib-dev and libc6-dev or should ubuntu 7.10 already have this.
(I am resending this email because the first time it was not in plain text)

An ALSA (Advanced Linux Sound Architecture) modem driver: snd-intel8x0m
provides Low Level support enabling contact with the modem hardware.
For all BUT Conexant chip soft modems (using hsfmodem software)
complementary High Level support is through a Smartlink utility: slmodemd
Download from http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/smartlink/
the package SLMODEMD.gcc4.1.tar.gz having a compiled slmodemd. Unpack under Linux with:
$ tar zxf SLMODEMD.gcc4.1.tar.gz
and read instructions therein. But briefly, the modem is setup with command:
sudo slmodemd -c YOUR_COUNTRY --alsa modem:1
reporting dynamic creation of ports:
/dev/ttySL0 --> /dev/pts/N , with N some number
Read Smartlink.txt and Modem/YourSystem.txt for follow through guidance.

============ end Smartlink section =====================
Completed candidate modem analyses.
The base of the UDEV device file system is: /dev/.udev
Versions adequately match for the compiler installed: 4.1.3
and the compiler used in kernel assembly: 4.1.3
Minimal compiling resources appear complete:
make utility - /usr/bin/make
Compiler version 4.1
linuc_headers base folder /lib/modules/2.6.22-14-generic/build
However some compilations and executable functions may need additional files,
in the FileNames.h (so called kernel "h"eaders) collection installed in /usr/include/ .
For martian_modem, additional required packages are libc6-dev (and for Debian/Ubuntu, linux-libc-dev). The also required headers of package libc6 are commonly installed by default.
If a driver compilation fails, with message including some lack of some FileName.h (stdio.h for example), then
Some additional kernel-header files need installation to /usr/include. The minimal additional packages are libc6-dev
and any of its dependents, under Ubuntu linux-libc-dev
If an alternate ethernet connection is available,
$ apt-get update
$ apt-get -s install linux-kernel-devel
will install needed package
For Debian/Ubuntu related distributions, run the following command to display the needed package list:
Otherwise packages have to be found through http://packages.ubuntu.com
Once downloaded and transferred into a Linux partition,
they can be installed alltogether with:
$ sudo dpkg -i *.deb
