I followed your instructions exactly but I am still not able to dial out.

The wvdialconf program was able to find my modem and made the necessary
changes to the /etc/wvdial.conf file but I'm still not able to get my
modem working. When I click on the setup buttong on the Gnome PPP gui
and try to detect my modem it doesn't find it. When I try to dial out
any way I get the following:
--> Ignoring malformed input line: ";Do NOT edit this file by hand!"
--> WvDial: Internet dialer version 1.60
--> Cannot open /dev/ttySL0: Permission denied
--> Cannot open /dev/ttySL0: Permission denied
--> Cannot open /dev/ttySL0: Permission denied
Can someone please tell me what the next step is?

Re: /sbin/SLMODEMD.gcc4.2$ sudo slmodemd -c USA --alsa hw:0,6
sudo: unable to resolve host localhost
SmartLink Soft Modem: version 2.9.11 Feb 25 2008 18:25:57
symbolic link `/dev/ttySL0' -> `/dev/pts/1' created.
modem `hw:0,6' created. TTY is `/dev/pts/1'
Use `/dev/ttySL0' as modem device, Ctrl+C for termination.

OK so far.
But first within /sbin/SLMODEMD.gcc4.2/ do
$ sudo cp slmodemd /usr/sbin/
$ sudo chmod +x /usr/sbin/slmodemd
This will put slmodemd on the command path and you can all it from
your personal folder. First check the version:
$ slmodemd --version
should be 2.9.11.
Then activate as before with:
$ sudo slmodemd -c USA --alsa hw:0,6
Next open a second console, or TAB on the same one. Then the modem
should be found with:
$ sudo wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf
If so finish your configuation with:
$ sudo gedit /etc/wvdial.conf
Read the wvdial.txt for details.
