At http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/ there are packages wvdial_jaunty_i386.zip for Intel processor systems wvdial_jaunty_amd64.zip for AMD x86_64 systems to complete installations of wvdial. Unpack with: $ unzip wv*.zip Follow the instructions inside the new folder. Note that wvdial is most crucial for modems using the martian software and the slmodemd helper application. THis is because of the ease of adding to the /etc/wvdial.conf a line needed with these applications: Carrier Check = no For other modems, such as the Conexant modems using hsfmodem software, most any dialer should be OK. Wvdial remains preferred for trouble shooting if there are problems.
