Denver,
"It didn't write anything" because you missed the word tee in the
command
You typed :
sudo wvdial | wvdenver.txt
while I suggested
sudo wvdial | tee wvdenver.txt
The "segmentation fault" is a bad problem.
When you see again a message that the other end is busy, could you dial
the same number immediately with a normal phone not a computer not a
modem, to check if the other end is really busy?

Please find attached two files...
One is the log of the window that I ran sudo slmodemd
slmdenver.txt
the other is the window where ran the sudo wvdial | wvdenver.txt
wvdenver.txt
(it didn't write any text to the file, but I copyied all that I see in
the terminal window)
So what happens is I hear the dial-tone, it dials & there is a sound
(the proper sound you'd hear when you dial up - high pitch+static
sound) but prematurely the dial-up sound mutes and both windows go
back to prompt.
I believe this will be the final error - I'm feeling like should read
the book "Linux for Dummies". I feel it's a simpler issue than
everything else we've dealt with before.

I don't know if I'm making things worse but... I have just run the command

and the response was
SmartLink Soft Modem: version 2.9.11 Mar 6 2009 00:36:34
symbolic link `/dev/ttySL0' -> `/dev/pts/1' created.
modem `slamr0' created. TTY is `/dev/pts/1'
Use `/dev/ttySL0' as modem device, Ctrl+C for termination.
Now I'm attrempting to edit the wvdial.conf and manually add the settings
I saw a sample like this on the net...
[Dialer Defaults]
Modem = /dev/ttyS1
Baud = 115200
Init1 = ATZ
Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 S11=55 +FCLASS=0
Phone = 555-1212
Username = my_login_name
Password = my_login_password
Am not too sure about the Init1 & Init2 though.... I hope I wont make
things worse here...

Read the Slamr.txt record, other *.txt files and the sample wvdial.conf .
Am I doing something wrong. I execute that file as follows

Denver,
The problem is the initial setup was:
slmodemd -c /dev/slamr0
which should have been
slmodemd -c USA /dev/slamr0
This defective package should have been replaced at the Linmodems
site,
but I've just sent the replacement direct to you.

Hi,
Thanks for the help Antonio. I managed to install the WVDIAL but the
slamr-2.6.28-11-generic is giving me some errors as attached.
On running the WVDIAL diagnostics it says that is cannot find
"/dev/modem" . I suspect that there is a problem with the
installation
of the slamr-2.6.28-11-generic. To make things worse I also tried
the
provided in slmodem-2.9.11-20090222.tar.gz and
ungrab-winmodem-20090716.tar.gz but still no "/dev/modem" .
I'm quite new to the Ubuntu (version 9.08) and am slowly learning my
way around it. I still feel far though.
Thanks,
Denver

Denver,
scanModem reports that your modem is supported by slamr which is
provided in slmodem-2.9.11-20090222.tar.gz and
ungrab-winmodem-20090716.tar.gz.
But you can even do better than that with a preloaded slamr found
in
http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/smartlink/Ubuntu/slamr-2.6.28-11-generic.tar.gz
Do download it, copy it to your linux partition and extract it
$ tar -zxvf slamr-2.6.28-11-generic.tar.gz
run
$ sudo ./setup
and everything should be ready to go, except installation of wvdial
which was not found on your system according to scanModem.
