I have ubuntu 9.10 phase 1 to which I have added Gnome-ppp (or the graphic version
of wvdial) on my Acer Aspire 5315-2153 laptop with a USR 56k usb modem driven by
dgcmodem_1.10_k2.6.28_13_generic_ubuntu_i386.deb

I must invoke Gnome-ppp as root , sudo gnome-ppp

It works, conneccting me at 40,000 bps or better. During the connection dialog, however,
I get the same message "Cannot get information from the serial port."

maybe because usb is not a "regular" serial port.
