apt-get install minicom
minicom is a nice little communications program you can use to see
what you modem is doing and how your ISP reacts to a connection. Use
minicom to see if your modem really is on /dev/ttyS2. If you don't
get anything when you start minicom, try again with /dev/ttyS1 or
/dev/ttyS0. You should get an 'OK' back from the modem right when
minicom starts. If wvdial isn't finding your modem then the modem is
probably on a different device file or it is a winmodem.
