What's the make, model and, or type of your modem in question?

Better run wvdialconfig (which is smart enough to do it for you) from
console or xterm; though you need to edit /etc/wvdial.conf to enter your
username and password by hand. After that you may use similar settings
in kppp if you like that.

Could you please tell me the name of the device corrispnding
under Linux to the usb interface.


Names of USB-to-Serial devices under Linux can be ttyUSB0, ttyUSB1,
ttyUSB2 ...; to find these in /dev typein:

ls -l /dev/ttyUSB*

Good luck!

You'll have to tell us what modem and driver you're using. Another
poster already mentioned the /dev/ttyUSB* devices. It could also be
/dev/ttyACM* if it uses that driver. Or maybe it's something else
entirely. Without knowing what modem and driver you're using, we don't
know what device it is.
