24 Thanks again Neil. My Nokia N82 is working like this:
25
26 Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0
27 Modem Type = USB Modem
28 Phone = *99***1#
29 ISDN = 0
30 Username = username
31 Init1 = ATZ
32 Password = password
33 Modem = /dev/ttyACM0
34 Baud = 460800
35
36 Any better way to manage the connection than 'wvdial' and ctrl+c ? It
37 sounds like wicd doesn't support ppp yet.

39 - Grant
