My mistake. Somehow I confused usb-modeswitch with... well, other things.

I just looked it up through Debian package search (Unity). <snipped> Note: shouldn't need to supply your ISPs APN - the modem should have, and supply that when it connects. Try this:- Create the following files:- /etc/ppp/peers/Bell /etc/chatscripts/Bell The next one is tricky as I don't know which /dev/ttyUSB* is the modem's data port... so I suggest you try them all. First list them:- $ ls /dev/ttyUSB* I suspect you'll find 4 - 5 ports created (if the right module is loaded, but I digress). Try /dev/ttyUSB4 first, then 2, then 0, then 1, then 3. for /etc/peers/Bell the contents are (copy and paste between the lines):- ============= hide-password noauth connect "/usr/sbin/chat -v -f /etc/chatscripts/Bell" debug #the following line is where to try different ports /dev/ttyUSB4 115200 defaultroute noipdefault user "a" ipparam Bell persist usepeerdns ============ for /etc/chatscripts/Bell the contents are:- ============= #leave the following line commented for the time being. #REPORT CONNECT ABORT BUSY ABORT 'NO CARRIER' ABORT VOICE ABORT 'NO DIALTONE' ABORT 'NO DIAL TONE' ABORT 'NO ANSWER' ABO$ '' ATZ OK-AT-OK "ATDT*99#" CONNECT \d\c ============ edit /etc/ppp/options and ensure that the line "noauth" is uncommented Make sure you are in the dip group $ groups | grep dip Then try to connect:- $ pon Bell Then please run the following commands and save the results to the next post:- $ lsusb | grep 1410:7030 | grep Novatel $ lsmod | grep option $ lsmod | grep serial $ dmesg | tail -n 20 $ cat /etc/resolv.conf # ifconfig If you manage to connect... use the following to disconnect:- $ poff Bell Cheers -- We all pay for life with death, so everything in between should be free. ~ Bill Hicks -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
