This is the output I see when I type in sudo wvdial:

It look like the modem finally found what it was looking for but when I pull up Firefox I can't go any where.  Is there something else I need to do?

The first tab has this information in it:

kendall@Accuser:~$ sudo slmodemd -c USA --alsa hw:0,6
sudo: unable to resolve host Accuser
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.

This is my wvdial.conf:

[Dialer defaults]
Init1 = ATZ
Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 X3 &C1 &D2 +MS=90
Init3 = AT+GCI=B5
Modem Type = Analog Modem
ISDN = 0
Phone = 8409266
Modem = /dev/ttySL0
Username = ordinary12@xxxxxxxxxxxx
Password = 
Baud = 460800
Stupid Mode = yes
Carrier Check = no

The output keeps telling me it doesn't have a dial tone but the phone is connected and working fine.  I pulled up the GNOME PPP GUI to use the automatic find modem feature.  This worked a long time ago when I first tried to figure this out but now it says it can't find the modem.  Please tell me what to do.
