I assume you replace "apn of 3" with the apn you were given? Just to check

Well it is a direct copy of my working wvdial.conf, minus the phone 
number that is different with my provider and the apn.

when you insert the modem and in a konsole type "dmesg", do you see 
anything about a "gsm modem attached to /dev/ttyUSB0" or USB1 or USB2? 
If not your modem simply might not be recognised or not have "switched". 
Otherwise try with USB1 or USB2 instead of USB0, one specific modem 
nearly drove me mad before I figured out it uses /dev/ttyUSB1 and not USB0

Finally you can give Sagis3G a try, many have good experiences with it, 
including myself. At this moment it has replaced KPPP on a modem that in 
9.10 worked with KPPP....
