After all this time I finally got the desktop modem to break dialtone &
dial. Original thread:
<http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ubuntu.user/137305>

On 10.10 maverick, I did a make install of martian-full-20100123.tar.gz,
purged martian-modem & reinstalled martian-modem and:
$ sudo wvdialconf
Editing `/etc/wvdial.conf'.

Modem dials & connects gets carrier from the remote modem.
gnome-ppp log indicates it's problem with password (username & password
