I'm moving tomorrow, and I'll have to use dialup for internet.

I got a Best Data USB HARDWARE CONTROLLER modem, and I installed wvdial, but it doesn't detect it. I assume it's because it only looks for pci modems?

Anyway, I just need some really quick help getting this thing working before I move, otherwise I'm internetless for a while, and it will be even more difficult to get it to work.

Any help would be appreciated.

By the way, it does show up with lsusb, and it creates a dev node ttyACM0 (it goes away when I unplug it).

update:

I've got this doing autodetect from gnome-ppp (wvdial front-end):
Code:
basilio facemyer # gnome-ppp
WVCONF: /root/.wvdial.conf
GNOME PPP: STDOUT: Editing `/dev/null'.
GNOME PPP: STDOUT:

GNOME PPP: STDOUT:
GNOME PPP: STDOUT: If you still have problems, send mail to <wvdial-list@lists.nit.ca>.


I'm looking at the FAQ now...help?

[EDIT]

I don't understand why it can't open the device. I've got usb modem support built into my kernel, the node shows up when I plug in the modem.

Code:
minicom: cannot open /dev/ttyACM0: Input/output error

Somehow it works now - wvdialconf detected it, although it would not before, and it dials.
