It appears wvdial is still included on the Ubuntu CD, so you can apt-get and install it without internet connection (a HUGE plus). So just "sudo wvdialconf", and then "sudo gedit /etc/wvdial.conf", and then "sudo wvdial" to connect. Meanwhile I find it nearly unbelievable upstream has ignored this bug for 7 years. Seeing how even modern countries have fallen back to dial-up as of late: http://articles.washingtonpost.com/2011-12-06/lifestyle/35288255_1_servers-andrew-lewis-activists http://www.npr.org/2011/12/14/143721874/in-cuba-dial-up-internet-is-a-luxury

WORKAROUND (for now): use pppd; which allows configuring a serial modem with the "sudo pppconfig" command, which will ask all the necessary questions.
