John,

The part where you are getting

Check this page out, it might help?

Something could be wrong in the wvdial.conf, you may carefully look
over the file wvdial.txt found in Modem/DOCs/ folder generated by
scanModem.  In there it provides examples and troubleshooting tips.
Also you may look over at Jacques' Post-Install howto/guide here:

Antonio
