Ryan,

sorry but I also forgot that wvdial was not installed.  scanModem also
detected this.

The dialer utility package WVDIAL does not appear to be installed on
your System.
Please read Modem/DOCs/wvdial.txt

wvdial is a nice program that helps in troubleshooting and/or
connecting to internet connections and it is good to have in our
systems.

Regards,

Antonio
