Hi Moz, Thanks for the suggestions, but still no success. This is what i did.
first checked ls /dev/ttyU* your right there were no ttyUSBO or USB1 so did -$sudo mknod /dev/ttyUSB0 c 188 0 -$sudo mknod /dev/ttyUSB1 c 188 1 voila next time it did ls /dev/ttyU* i got /dev/ttyUSB0 /dev/ttyUSB1 edited RC Local with the lines' sudo -S modprobe usbserial vendor=0x0451 product=0x3401 </home/ram/foo/foo.txt sudo mknod /dev/ttyUSB0 c 188 0 sudo mknod /dev/ttyUSB1 c 188 1 edited the line in wvdial crtcts to crtscts tried wvdial 93 got error ---> cannot open /dev/ttyUSB0 . No such device restarted and found that the ttyUSB0 had disappeared so did mknod again and tried tried wvdial 93 same error edited the line containing crtscts and # it out completely same error. So back to square one Very frustrating. I tried the same thing on Opensuse 11.1 and get the same errors.

I did that because it might conflict. But no idea.
