Your output and mine agree except as follows:
Yours:    ttyS04 at port 0x7feo (IRQ = 10) is a 16550A
Mine:      ttyS04 at port 0xd000 (IRQ  = 19) is a 16550A


Which means you're modem is on Com5, IRQ 10. You should be able to set
this in /etc/wvdial.conf, or if you run pon/poff, pppconfig should give
you an option to type in /dev/ttyS04.


The problem is the(Mine) not the (Your).  The (Your) works.  How do you
translate 0x7fe0 to Com5? A doc ref would help.

I don't; I translate the "ttyS4" as COM5. I thought I had written this before, but perhaps it was in another thread, or it didn't make it through; you subtract one from whatever value Windows labels the COM port. If Windows calls it COM1, then in Linux it'd be 0, or more accurately, /dev/ttyS0; COM4 in Windows would be /dev/ttyS3 in Linux. (I believe I (and someone else) miswrote above, by adding a zero in the name; it should be /dev/ttyS4, not /dev/ttyS04, but not having used a serial port in ages, I'm not for certain.)
