Bart,
1- I am not an Ubuntu user, even not Debian. I use Scientific Linux
based on RedHat Entreprise 4 with all copyrighted material stripped off.
This is an RPM system and I am not familier with DEB files.
2-My way of doing this would be to start from
http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/6.2.0/connect/wvdial.html
which contains the source code of the wvdial package, with all universal
generic instructions to compile and install.
3-If you dont mind working in the fog, you can also use
http://packages.ubuntu.com/dapper/wvdial and select a version older than
1.60 among distributions dapper feisty or gutsy.
It may work, it may fail, I have nothing to say on that.
In particular the underlying library wvwaves may be a problem.

Hi Jacques,
Thanks for your reply!
It is not only X that hangs. It is strange enough, the whole system.
First thing I try is CTRL-ALT-F2 or F3. But no response to this nor Ctrl
+Alt-Backspace. Even the SysRq does not respond.
I've version 1.60.1+nmu2 installed. Force version is greyed out in
Synaptic. Any suggestions how to try an older version on Ubuntu Intrepid
8.10?

Bart,
I have seen such things in the past when a then recent, possibly still
distributed, version of wvdialconf was starting to search for USB and
other more exotic hardware after failing to find any /dev/ttyS* device.
I believe that I can suggest a new test with an older version of wvdialconf.
I am using 1.54 since long and never felt any need for anything else.
Something else: when your machine hangs, have you tried to see if it
could be that X11, not the machine, has ceased to respond?
One way is to try to restart it is to CTRL-SHIFT-BACKSPACE.
An other way, the one I prefer, is to CTRL-SHIFT-F1 to try to open
an ASCII pseudo-terminal (console). ps ax then shows all running
tasks, making it possible to kill the process which blocks you, probably
wvdialconf.
Good luck

Marv S,
I first tried the sudo agrsm-test as suggested by dpkg after the
install. This hanged my system.
Then I manually loaded the drivers as described in usages.txt
sudo modprobe agrmodem and sudo modprobe agrserial
This did not give me a message as expected that /dev/ttyAGS3 was
created. But I checked /dev/ and /dev/ttyAGS3 is actually there.
I created symbolic links:
sudo ln -s /dev/ttyAGS3 /dev/ttySAGR and sudo ln
-s /dev/ttyAGS3 /dev/modem
as described in usages.txt
So both sudo agrsm-test and wvdialconf give me a totally hanged system.
I attached a photo from the frozen screen/computer.
noacpi did not help me either. I do not get a workable screen with Xorg
then (Nvidia).
Is there anything else I could try?

Bart,
The drivers likely aren't loaded, or there should be an /dev/ttySAGR
for wvdialconf to fine. It is the agrsm-tools which provides for this
symbolic link
Make sure your boot is into 2.6.27-9-generic
Either
$ sudo agrsm-test
or
$ modprobe agrserial
$ ls -l /dev/ttySAGR
before the wvdialconf

Thanks MarvS,
I've installed those deb's and did some testing with:
sudo wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf
If I do this I get an output like this:
A failure will include lines like:
ttyS0<*1>: ATQ0 V1 E1 -- failed with 2400 baud, next try: 9600 baud
ttyS0<*1>: ATQ0 V1 E1 -- failed with 9600 baud, next try: 115200 baud
ttyS0<*1>: ATQ0 V1 E1 -- and failed too at 115200, giving up.
Modem Port Scan<*1>: S1 S2 S3
At that point the system hangs totally! Not even the SysRq is
responding!
Would pci=noacpi in Grub fix this?

from http://phep2.technion.ac.il/linmodems/packages/ltmodem/11c11040/ get
agrsm-2.6.27-9-generic_2.6.27-9.14_i386.deb and agrsm-tools_0.0.1_all.deb
Coinstall with:
$ sudo dpkg -i agrsm*.deb
There will be troubleshooting instructions in
/usr/share/doc/agrsm-tools/usage.txt
There has been service of modems
Communication controller: Agere Systems Device 0620"
PCIDEV=11c1:0620
modems under 2.6.24 kernels. Report back presently.
scanModem should have output this info automatically.
I may send you an update to test.

That possibly there is a .deb file available to get this modem working
on Ubuntu?!
Would someone please help me with this modem?
