Initialization file (/etc/wvdial.conf)

I left the username and password as above, as I get errors if I don't. You may even be required to leave the name and password blank.
To connect I type:

After plugging in the phone via the USB cable I got:
And after doing some downloading (just a bit) I get:
And I disconnect using a simple 'ctrl-c' in the same terminal the connection was made in.
