Remember, Carlos, even plain-jane external modems that plug into a traditional serial port require a "driver" in Windows...
Not a "real" driver. Perhaps terminal software, configuration parameters and such. But not a driver for the modem. At least, I haven't seen it. I have, in the past, had problems several times with modems that required special software to work, and in all cases they were internal modems. Plain serial port external modems, no problems, ever. me, at least.
if I were him, I would just try catting the /dev/whatever file that the modem shows up as, and see if it responds.
I would try minicom. But I trust that if wvdial can not use it, there are serious problems. That's a very good program, I use it with preference to kinternet and such to really know what is happening with the connection. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
