apt-get install minicom minicom is a nice little communications program you can use to see what you modem is doing and how your ISP reacts to a connection. Use minicom to see if your modem really is on /dev/ttyS2. If you don't get anything when you start minicom, try again with /dev/ttyS1 or /dev/ttyS0. You should get an 'OK' back from the modem right when minicom starts. If wvdial isn't finding your modem then the modem is probably on a different device file or it is a winmodem. -D
