Andrea In the future driver loading and port creation can be done by: $ sudo modprobe agrserial Please use wvdial for testing rather than its gnome-ppp graphical front end. Please edit the /etc/wvdial.conf and then try to dialout with: $ sudo wvdial Incidentally the config file used by gnome-ppp is .wvdial.conf in your home folder. So it's setup and port specfication must be done independently.
