  1. Install wvdial

    Debian/Ubuntu: apt-get install wvdial
Fedora/RHEL: yum install wvdial

  2. Edit /etc/wvdial.conf and replace its content with:

    [Dialer Defaults]
Modem = /dev/ttyACM0
Baud = 460800
Init1 = ATZ
Init2 = ATQ0

[Dialer ricochet]
Username = *
Password = *
Phone = 3333
Inherits = Dialer Defaults

  3. Replace /dev/ttyACM0 with the device your modem connected to:

    user@host:~$ dmesg | grep cdc_acm
cdc_acm 2-1:1.0: ttyACM1: USB ACM device

    Take the device name and prepend dev, so you get:

    Modem = /dev/ttyACM1

  4. Start wvdial
