I tried my internal modem in MSI VR420 Notebook. I could not do configure that goddam thing.
So, I burrowed an USB Fax Modem and installed it.
It was a DGC Modem type so, for my ubuntu pc of 2.6.24-16 Kernel Version
This was the Almighty http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/dgc/downloads-ubuntu-x86.php
Then very easy process.
Unzip the file
sudo dpkg -i dgcmodem_{version,etc}.deb
sudo /usr/sbin/dgcconfig
then dmesg produces good logs
and finally wvdial connects with modem /dev/modem
WOW
