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.

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.
