I had high hopes but they were dashed :-)  


# wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf
Scanning your serial ports for a modem.

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://open.nit.ca/wvdial/

If you still have problems, send mail to wvdial-list at lists.nit.ca.



I guess I'll have to look into setserial and the FAQ indicated....  Any 
hints or insight welcome.
