Randy, Try the following: $ sudo wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf it will scan for a modem port. If successfull you will see something like found a modem on /dev/ttyS?. If that is the case, you will need to edit the file /etc/wvdial.conf $ sudo gedit /etc/wvdial.conf remove the ";" and add your username, password and phone number to connect to your ISP. Read DOCS/wvdial.txt fro more information. If you get stuck or have questions please let us know.
