My ISP administrator used his own modem.

Minicom says"
	Connected press any key to continue.
	CONNECT 45300
	random numbers

wvdial reports:
	CONNECT 48000/ARQ
	Connected detected. Waiting for prompt.
	random numbers
 	Don't know what to do.  ....
	PPP daemon has died.

PPP
	After configuring PPP, I get message "This system lacks kernel support for 
ppp.
	Then /sbin/modprobe -v ppp
	Response: modprobe: Can't open dependencies file 
/lib/modules/2.2.14-15.0/modules.dep (No such file or directory)
