Hi to all Linuxheades who use GPRS/EDGE internet connection through
usb modem/mobile in windows and are finding it difficult to do the
same thing in Linux. Just follow my tips and check the files I posted
in files section.

Step # 1:
To find out which port the modem is using, use:

sudo dmesg | grep tty

(In my case the port I found was /dev/ttyACM0)

Step # 2:

To enable the root account (i.e. set a password) use:

sudo passwd root

Step # 3:
Place wvdial in /etc/ppp/peers/ & place wvdial.conf (select and rename
appropriate file for you, edit if necessary) in /etc/

Step # 4:
Give access permissions to the modem to normal users:

chmod a+rw /dev/ttyACM0

Step # 6:
Type wvdial from superuser console (su)

Note: all steps also worked perfectly worked under OpenSuse 10.2
(sudo & changing root passwword are not necessary, I used the su
command under OpenSuse)

Thanks,
Toufiq
