1 I've used wvdial to connect my laptop to the "3" network in Australia
2 with no problem. I'm now trying to connect to the "Zain" network in
3 Tanzania and I can't get it to work. I can browse the internet from
4 the phone (Nokia N82), but I can't seem to connect with wvdial.
5 Here's what I get with the debug option enabled in /etc/ppp/options:
6
7 # wvdial
8 --> WvDial: Internet dialer version 1.60
9 --> Initializing modem.
10 --> Sending: ATZ
11 ATZ
12 OK
13 --> Sending: ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0
14 ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0
15 OK
16 --> Modem initialized.
17 --> Sending: ATDT*99#
18 --> Waiting for carrier.
19 ATDT*99#
20 CONNECT
21 ~[7f]}#@!}!} } }2}#}$@#}!}$}%\}"}&} }*} } g}%~
22 --> Carrier detected. Starting PPP immediately.
23 --> Starting pppd at Fri Jul 3 12:10:31 2009
24 --> Pid of pppd: 6512
25 --> pppd: �o
26 --> Using interface ppp0
27 --> pppd: �o
28 --> pppd: �o
29 --> pppd: �o
30 --> pppd: �o
31 --> pppd: �o
32 --> pppd: �o
33 --> pppd: �o
34 --> pppd: �o
35 --> Authentication (PAP) started
36 --> pppd: �o
37 --> Authentication (PAP) successful
38 --> pppd: �o
39 --> pppd: �o
40 --> pppd: �o
41 --> pppd: �o
42 --> pppd: �o
43 --> pppd: �o
44 --> pppd: �o
45 --> pppd: �o
46 --> Terminate Request
47 --> ***** no quoted text found in `rcvd [LCP TermReq id=0x1]' *****
48 --> pppd: �o
49 --> pppd: �o
50 --> pppd: �o
51 --> pppd: �o
52 --> pppd: �o
53 --> Disconnecting at Fri Jul 3 12:10:35 2009
54 --> The PPP daemon has died: A modem hung up the phone (exit code = 16)
55 --> man pppd explains pppd error codes in more detail.
56 --> Try again and look into /var/log/messages and the wvdial and pppd
57 man pages for more information.
58 --> Auto Reconnect will be attempted in 5 seconds
59
60 I have this in the logs:
61
62 Jul 3 10:43:42 [pppd] pppd 2.4.4 started by root, uid 0
63 Jul 3 10:43:42 [pppd] Using interface ppp0
64 Jul 3 10:43:42 [pppd] Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/ttyACM0
65 Jul 3 10:43:44 [pppd] PAP authentication succeeded
66 Jul 3 10:43:45 [pppd] LCP terminated by peer
67 Jul 3 10:43:48 [pppd] Connection terminated.
68 Jul 3 10:43:48 [pppd] Modem hangup
69 Jul 3 10:43:48 [pppd] Exit.

71 This page outlines the config to make it work:
72
73 http://eightzerofour.wordpress.com/tag/wvdialconf/
74
75 Here it is:
76
77 [Dialer Defaults]
78 Modem = /dev/ttyACM0
79 Init1 = ATZ
80 Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0
81 Stupid Mode = 1
82 Modem Type = USB Modem
83 Phone = *99#
84 New PPPD = yes
85 ISDN = 0
86 Username = blank
87 Password = blank
88 Baud = 460800
89
90 But it isn't working for me.
91
92 I'm new to wvdial and cell phone data connections in general. What
93 could be the problem?
