Reid, As previously recommended PLEASE do not use the front end gnome-ppp, rather use it's wvdial engine directly. The configuration file for wvdial has its standard position at /etc/wvdial.conf In contrast gnome-ppp writes and uses a different configuration file, I vaguely recall being wvdial.conf, but in your personal home folder These lines from /etc/wvdial.conf : Phone = <number> Modem = /dev/ttyACM0 Username = <username> Password = <password> Will not be functional for wvdial until edited by $ sudo gedit /etc/wvdial.conf to format Phone = xxxyyyzzzz Modem = /dev/ttyACM0 Username = LoginName Password = LoginPassword If you are using the Conexant chipset USB modem, the appropriate Phone is either Phone = /dev/modem or Phone = /dev/ttySHF0 which should be setup during loading of the hsfmodem drivers. Again, PLEASE do not use gnome-ppp while trying to work through these issuse.
