Dear Marvin, You were right: wvdial was not properly configured. Now I'm able to connect, but the connection (both with wvdial and with kppp) is somehow unstable, and lasts a maximum of 10-15 minutes; also the speed is a bit low. By comparison, with Windows I can be connected 1 hour or more, and the speed is good. Any suggestion?
