Hi Marvin,
Thanks for the advice, I rand slmodemd and then in a new terminal ran:
$ sudo wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf
and then I edited wvdial.conf in gedit to add my dial out number,
password and user name.
finally I used
$ sudo wvdial
to dial. the application started to process but came up with the
following errors:
--> Configuration does not specify a valid phone number.
--> Configuration does not specify a valid login name.
--> Configuration does not specify a valid password.
I opened wvdial.conf to check that I had entered my details correctly
which I had and tried again with the same result. I then started the
whole process from the beginning and when I went to edit my details in
wvdial.conf I noticed that it had a different layout than the first time
I edited my details. I still came up with the same errors when I tried
to dial.again. I have copied and pasted my terminal entries and
responses below and then below that the contents of the wvdial.conf file
in case something isn't right with it. When I entered my username etc i
did remove the <> and I also tired with them in just in case.
Thanks for all your help,
John Curwood

$ sudo wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf
should find the modem.
Edit in your personal info with:
$ sudo gedit /etc/wvdial.conf
removing the symbols ; < >
Save
Then you should be dialout with
$ sudo wvdial
