I don't know about your modem, but mine is a Best.
The default init string in wvdial is ATZ. As it
happens, on the Best, this is an improper init, and
any ATZ type init turns off the OK response.
I had to change Init=ATZ to Init=ATZ1, and add
Init1=ATV1 (which turned on the OK response, so the
rest of the script worked).
You can test out this stuff with seyon , it will let
you type in the commands and see the response.
You can also do (in one window) cat </dev/ttyS1 (or
whatever your proper modem tty is),
and in another window:
cat >/dev/ttyS1
In the second window, type the modem commands, and in
the first window, monitor the modem's response.
(You may have to do this as root)
