Franz,

Please send to the List, not me directly.
After rebooting, again run
> sudo wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf

If the modem is not detected, run
$ sudo hsfconfig --diagnose
will write a file to the /tmp/  folder
which should be sent to "Support (Jonathan)" <support@xxxxxxxxxxxx>,
the expert on this software
