Thread: Reliance usb Modem on LINUX

Posting info from this month's LFY (with corrections and modifications):
Plug the modem (data card?) into the usb port and do

Code:

dmesg | grep ttyUSB

and check the name of the device the modem attaches to - ttyUSB0, whatever. Then open the /etc/wvdial.conf file in a text editor using

Code:

sudo gedit /etc/wvdial.conf

Now add the following lines to the file

Code:

[Dialer Defaults]
Modem = your_device_name
Baud = 115200
Set Volume = 0
Init1 = ATZ
Phone = #777
Username = your_phone_number
Password = your_phone_number
Ask Password = 0
Dial Command = ATDT
Stupid Mode = 1
Compuserve = 0
Idle Seconds = 300
ISDN = 0
Auto DNS = 1

Replace you_phone_number with your mobile number, and your_device_name with /dev/ttyUSB0 or /dev/ttyUSB1 or whatever name you find.
Save the file.
You can now dial using the

Code:

wvdial

command.

Thanks for Your replay

Now if i do the above steps

What about VOICE AND SMS
will they also work

Please reply soon

What do you mean when you ask if voice and sms will work? Get a ubuntu live cd and try to connect to the internet using the above info. I don't think it would take more than five minutes to do it. And that will probably clarify your doubts because I have absolutely no idea of what you are referring to.
