Forrest, With proper respect and calmness, please do what we ask you to do. $ sudo gedit /etc/wvdial.conf remove the ";", add your username, password, ISP phone number and save the file. Then as soon as that is done and saved for good. and NO problems, no permissions,, or other type of errors please do a $ sudo wvdial 2>&1 | tee wvdial.out and send us inline or as an attachment the file wvdial.out. Otherwise and without that we CANNOT do anything to help you :( We are a team of volunteers and have no time to be fooling around with details after which we have kindly asked you to please supply them. Normally, I am a very calm person, and please forgive me if I am coming very strong, but mosting everything that you have posted is the SAME thing with no VARIATION and no PROGRESS. Please do what we are asking you to do so that we can help you troubleshoot your connection.
