Are you certain your system supports your modem?  If you have a
"winmodem", the odds are great that it flat won't work.  You have to
make sure you have a driver that supports your modem.  If minicom
can't access the modem, then wvdial can't either.

My suggestion: spend the $50 and buy a REAL modem.  You know...the kind
that plugs into a serial port.  Winmodems are bloody evil beasts.
