If I understand correctly, wvdial is a PPP intended to connect to an ISP.

This is not the point of difficulty. The point of difficulty is the breakdown of primary communication with the modem, well before the time of connecting with an ISP.

The modem will simply not respond at all in minicom or Efax-gtk, whereas it works fine in Windoze. An "AT" command in minicom gets absolutely no response. Efax-gtk simply will not dial at all. I can't certify even that initialization is occurring on either of the above, because there is nothing returned from the modem to indicate that it is or is not initialized.

This seems to me to point to a fault in the basic communication with the modem, not higher level communications to an outside connection.

Thanks!
