Why wvdial for the above connection? It is a simple DHCP LAN.
I was talking about reliance netconnect broadband. It's a usb thingy that you plug in to get online.
That's great. Someone on this list had asked earlier whether the new USB broadband works in Linux. Could you give an outline of how it is setup on the Linux box?
Just plug it in and it should be recognised (atleast debian 5 and kubuntu jaunty recognises it ot of the box) You will need the following in your wvdial.conf:
------------------- [Dialer Defaults]
[Modem0] Modem = /dev/ttyUSB0 Baud = 115200 SetVolume = 0 Dial Command = ATDT Init1 = ATZ FlowControl = Hardware (CRTSCTS) [Dialer cdma] Username = your 10 digit tel no here (its on the back of the box) Password = your 10 digit tel no here Phone = #777 Stupid Mode = 1 Inherits = Modem0 ------------------------------
then sudo wvdial cdma
and you are away.
The only problem is that ou can't activate the card on linux. You will have to get hold of a windows box for the same or ask the reliance chappie to do it for you.
