I've used wvdial to connect my laptop to the "3" network in Australia with no problem. I'm now trying to connect to the "Zain" network in Tanzania and I can't get it to work. I can browse the internet from the phone (Nokia N82), but I can't seem to connect with wvdial. Here's what I get with the debug option enabled in /etc/ppp/options:
# wvdial --> WvDial: Internet dialer version 1.60 --> Initializing modem. --> Sending: ATZ ATZ OK --> Sending: ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0 ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0 OK --> Modem initialized. --> Sending: ATDT*99# --> Waiting for carrier.

This page outlines the config to make it work: http://eightzerofour.wordpress.com/tag/wvdialconf/ Here it is: [Dialer Defaults] Modem = /dev/ttyACM0 Init1 = ATZ Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0 Stupid Mode = 1 Modem Type = USB Modem Phone = *99# New PPPD = yes ISDN = 0 Username = blank Password = blank Baud = 460800 But it isn't working for me. I'm new to wvdial and cell phone data connections in general. What could be the problem? - Grant
