I may try this :
<quote<
. Upon connection, it will spit out some information about your
connection (local IP, remote IP, DNS address, etc.). Do not close the
terminal where wvdial is running. Leave it alone until you want the
connection to be terminated, and hit CTRL+C on that terminal once you
want to end the connection.

If you lose the connection a short time after connecting (30 sec - 3
min), you might need to edit options for pppd:

gksudo gedit /etc/ppp/options

Find lcp-echo-interval30 and lcp-echo-failure4. Comment out these
options by adding a '#' at the start of these lines, eg. #
lcp-echo-interval30 and # lcp-echo-failure4.

If you connect successfully but your Internet applications do not
function (eg. web pages do not load in Firefox), you might need to add
replacedefaultroute as a new line in the pppd option file. 
</qoute>

Still struggling with getting connected via my modem. 
I've had the modem check out, it is good.
I feel the install of Ubuntu is fine and all is good with Ubuntu

Using wvdial I can see there is some problem but not sure what? Can
anyone help me discern that is happening here: This is a new us robotics
v92 external modem. 
I have set it up on a win 98 machine and also drops right away as well.
