After two years of on and off trials, I am finally able to report success on my PCTEL-2310 WT which came inside as a cheapo part that only Dell can provide.... I am ecstatic! Thanks a bundle to Matthew Saltzman for pushing me through the final edge. For some strange reason, setting minicom did not help and system-config-network did not display the modem. I was disappointed but decided to back to first principles and do wvdial manually: # wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf Scanning your serial ports for a modem. ttyS0<*1>: ATQ0 V1 E1 -- failed with 2400 baud, next try: 9600 baud ttyS0<*1>: ATQ0 V1 E1 -- failed with 9600 baud, next try: 115200 baud ttyS0<*1>: ATQ0 V1 E1 -- and failed too at 115200, giving up.
