When I ran the command:

sudo apt-get install wvdial

I got this error message :

error

This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or

So how can I install wvdial?

I don't have access to internet from Ubuntu for direct installation.

After I posted this question I got how to install wvdial and I installed it. Now I am facing another problem. I first took terminal and typed in lsusb after plugging my modem (bsnl evdo data card). Then I typed wvdialconf and I got the following:

Sorry, no modem was detected!  Is it in use by another program?

Did you configure it properly with setserial?

Please read the FAQ at http://alumnit.ca/wiki/?WvDial

Can you help me in this? I want to install my modem.
