Could Not Connect to Internet Even After Installing wvdial

Question

After I start wvdial, I get the following lines

$sudo wvidal

 WvDial: Internet dialer version 1.61

    Sending: ATZ
    OK
    Sending: ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0

    secondary DNS address 220.226.100.40
    pppd: `�9[08]X�9[08]

This is my wvdial.conf file;

[Dialer Defaults]
Init1 = ATZ
Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0
Modem Type = Analog Modem
Baud = 9600
New PPPD = yes
Modem = /dev/ttyUSB0
ISDN = 0
Phone = #777
Password = 9382741646
Username = 9382741646

Is there any mistake in the config file ?

Should I do any thing after I run wvdial in terminal to get the internet to work ?

Found the answer and thought to share it with you guys.

wvdial needs several other packages to be installed, which can be fetched from the Internet. Since, I can't connect to the Internet without modem, I manually downloaded these required packages.

Download the package files from these links (If you're using 64-bit, choose amd64, otherwise i386):

libwvstreams4.6-base http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/libwvstreams4.6-base
libwvstreams4.6-extras http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/libwvstreams4.6-extras
libuniconf4.6 http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/libuniconf4.6
wvdial http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/wvdial

Save them in your home folder. Then install them all using this command

sudo dpkg -i *.deb

Then edit /etc/wvdial.conf using sudo -i gedit /etc/wvdial.conf with the following configurations.

[Dialer Defaults]
Init1 = ATZ
Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0
Modem Type = USB Modem
CBaud = 460800
New PPPD = yes
Modem = /dev/ttyUSB0
ISDN = 0
Phone = #777
Stupid Mode = 1
Password = password-provided-by-your-isp
Username = username-provided-by-your-isp

the Modem = /dev/ttyUSB0 value may be /dev/ttyUSB2 based on which port your device is attached to.
