mhdaya,
You have two different modem types.
Both are sharing resources with the USB support systems.
It is advisable that you detach the USB devices while testing the modem.
To begin, please detach the USB devices, rerun
$ sudo ./scanModem
send us the new ModemData.txt
Also please join the List using the SUBSCRIBE link at

packages with the files necessary to install wvdial, with names like:

wvdial_jaunty_i386.zip for 32 bit systems.
wvdial_karmic_i386.zip for 32 bit systems.
These are about 1 MB in size. After downloaded and copied into your

$ unzip wv*.zip
Within the new folder:
$ sudo dpkg -i *.deb
