i've installed dkms_2.1.1.2-2fakesync1_all.deb by getting the deb on the
internet.
I installed wvdial through Ubuntu Software Centre.
I then did:
"sudo apt-get install sl-modem-source sl-modem-daemon"
Here're the results:

I haven't restarted the computer yet, so I don't know whether what you
wrote in your first email (6:14pm June 23 Wed Pacific time) will work:
---Marvin's advice ---
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
--- end of advice -----
