Marvin,

because (as you can guess) I'm a Linux novice, I'm not sure about what
to do. Please take a look:

For what I can understand, I should *not* do

> Change the uucp to dialout with:
> $ sudo gedit  /etc/modprobe.d/sl-modem-daemon.modutils

because (as you can see above) "$ grep
uucp/etc/modprobe.d/sl-modem-daemon.modutils" returns nothing, so I 
didn't made the change that you suggested.

My sl-modem-daemon file looks correct:

I changed wvdial.conf as you said (replacing +FCLASS=0 with +MS=34):

I rebooted and this is what I got :(

Thanks for your efforts! I hope you can still help me.

Bye.
