If you don't mind try the following (hoping wvdial was installed on your machine)

$ su -
passwd:
# wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf

it will scan modem ports and hopefully it might find one like /dev/ttyUSB0 ... /dev/ttyUSB3, or something like /dev/ttyACM0 ... /dev/ttyACM3, ..., etc

Otherwise,

unplug the device and please do the following 

$ dmesg and/or (as root su -) # tail -f /var/log/messages 

when the device is plugged back in.

Hope this helps in some way.

Regards,

Antonio
