For Ubuntu systems, there is now a better option. Install packaes sl-modem-source and sl-modem-daemon. This will provide for automated future updates. If you have already have some other internet modality. $ sudo apt-get install sl-modem-source sl-modem-daemon will do all. The modem should setup automatically upon bootup. You will have once: $ sudo wvdialconf and then follow Antonio's instructions: $ sudo gedit /etc/wvdial.conf remove symbols ; < > and add username/ISP phone no and a line Carrier Check = no and Save Try to connect with: $ sudo wvdial Antonio, I'll add there Ubuntu specfic instructions to scanModem shortly MarvS scanModem maintainer > should work and connect. Let us know if this works or not.
