No Carrier issue

[senjiro]

Hello list!

I'm having a dickens of a time getting a Sierra usb modem to connect
to the sprint 3g network in ubuntu 8.10 with wvdial. I have disabled
Carrier Check and enabled Stupid Mode per several howto's out on the
net. However every time I attempt to dial, I get a NO CARRIER error
and a redial attempt. I have confirmed that the card connects fine on
a windows laptop in the same location, great signal here. I'm confused
as to why, with Carrier Check = no wvdial still seems to be trying to
detect a carrier?!

Any help you can offer is greatly appreciated. Thanks
