Henry,
What Marv wants you to do is to
$ sudo gedit /etc/wvdial.conf
when you do that you get the gedit Text Editor, Edit the file /etc/wvdial.conf to look like
[Dialer Defaults]
Init1 = ATZ
Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0
Modem Type = Analog Modem
Baud = 115200
New PPPD = yes
Modem = /dev/ttyS1
ISDN = 0
Phone = <--- put the telephone number to dial to your ISP here without spaces
# without dashes or spaces
Username = <--- YourLoginName goes here
Password = <---- put your password here
Save your file, then try to connect with
$ sudo wvdial
after doing that report back if you can connect or not.
Regards,
Antonio
