I appear to have finally enabled my computer to recognize my Wisecom
Accelerator Pro modem. I was performing an experiment using KPPP to see if
it could be recognized. When I push the 'Query Modem' button, KPPP
searches for my modem and displays the 'Modem Ready' message. Combined
with the fact that my modem lights up in the process, this would seem to
indicate that KPPP recognizes my modem through the USB port at
/dev/ttyUSB0, even though the 'Wvdialconf' command doesn't detect it.
However, when KPPP performs the 'ATI Query' function, all the ATI fields
are shown to be blank when the query is completed. I don't know exactly
what it means, but I'm thinking this is the only problem that keeps me
from using my modem, especially since it doesn't go any further than the
'Initializing Modem' process when I dial the number for my ISP.
I will admit that I am less concerned about using my modem to surf the
Internet since I use DSL for that purpose, but I want to use my modem to
send and receive faxes, perhaps use it as a speakerphone later on since it
has the appropriate jacks.
To aid you in the formulation of a possible solution, I am sending the
results of an attempt to use the 'eFax' program and a previous attempt to
use the 'Wvdialconf' command to get my modem recognized.

Sorry, no modem was detected! Is it in use by another program?
Did you configure it properly with setserial?
Please read the FAQ at http://alumnit.ca/wiki/?WvDial

If you need any further information from me, let me know.

P.S.: I am not concerned about the 'setserial' program since Martin has
already explained to me that it doesn't work with USB.
