This was exactly the question I had, but had I looked further:

It was not :( there is a ^C which implies CTRL + C. I was thinking
maybe wvdialconf did not find the modem, in which case tell it
directly that it needs the /dev/ttySL0 as the device, but let us see
if he leaves it running and opening another terminal/tab and see if
wvdialconf finds the modem?
