It failed with the message "NO DIALTONE". I also tried with pppconfig and I got the same message.

That's a big clue. Try plugging a 'phone into your wall socket and try
dialling out. Did you hear a dial tone? If that works try plugging in
your modem again. If it still doesn't work are you using the correct
cables?

If your 'phone line doesn't give a proper dial tone try dialling out
without the modem receiving a dial tone. You need to add an option to
wvdial.conf which for my modem is X3 but for your modem may be
different. Check the documents for your modem.


If you don't have a dial tone, nothing will dial out, it doesn't matter what string you attach to it, you've got a dead line. You have to attend to that variable before you can go any further with any sort of analysis.
