It is a long time since I used wvdial, but I remember it was quite easy to 
use. But you probably need to know the device where it can find the modem.

So "/dev/ttyACM0" is the thing wvdial wants to know. If you prefer a GUI 
program, kppp is probably what you are looking for. It will sure need to 
know about the device "/dev/ttyACM0" as well.
