Hi all , after many attempt to detect a modem on my Acer Extensa 5620z and just now with the hsfmodem that Marvin suggested , things not works. Here is the output runnning dpkg and wvdialconf command Many thanks in advance for your help Lino lino@lino-laptop:~$ sudo dpkg -i hsf*.deb [sudo] password for lino: Selezionato il pacchetto hsfmodem, che non lo era.
