Rick,

Before you go to GNOME-PPP first make sure that you can connect use
wvdial.  First setup your connection as follows:

Leave your connection as:

aneta@ubuntu:~$ sudo slmodemd -c AUSTRALIA --alsa modem:1
SmartLink Soft Modem: version 2.9.11 Aug  3 2008 21:41:20
symbolic link `/dev/ttySL0' -> `/dev/pts/0' created.
modem `modem:1' created. TTY is `/dev/pts/0'
Use `/dev/ttySL0' as modem device, Ctrl+C for termination.
aneta@ubuntu:~$

Fire up another terminal or tab and type the following:

$ sudo wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf

will scan and find your modem port, in this case it should be /dev/ttySL0

then you may hand edit the file /etc/wvdial.conf like
$ sudo gedit /etc/wvdial.conf

remove the ";" and "<", ">" and add your corresponding username,
password, ISP phone number , a line "Carrier Check = no", a line with
a "#" or a ";" in front of another line "Stupid Mode = 1".  Making
your wvdial.conf look like:

[olivares@localhost ~]$ cat /etc/wvdial.conf

[Dialer Defaults]
Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 X3 &C1 &D2 +MS=90   <--- X3 disables checking
for dialtone, +MS=90 helps with stubborn ISP's, you can change to
+MS=34 if needed.
Modem Type = Analog Modem
Phone = YOUR_ISP'S_PHONE_NUMBER_HERE
ISDN = 0
Username = YOUR_USERNAME
Init1 = ATZ
Password = YOUR_PASSWORD
Modem = /dev/ttySL0
Baud = 460800
Carrier Check = No
#Stupid Mode = 1

First try to connect and upon a successfull connection, then you may
try GNOME-PPP.  Report back presently.

Regards,

Antonoi
