When you connect the phone to the computer with usb cable ubuntu should detect it (you'll see a message saying "New mobile broadband device detected" in the network manager) Than open a terminal and type: sudo wvdialconf You'll get output similar to the one in wvdialconf.log - see the attachment (i'm using my SE K750i) Take note on lines "ttyACM0<*1>: Modem Identifier: ATI -- Sony Ericsson K750" - you'll need this info for the modems group detection-string and detection string parameters. I presume you'll get something like "Sony Ericsson P990" "Found an USB modem on /dev/ttyACM0" - for smsc group - device parameter Create a smsc group: group = smsc smsc = at modemtype = auto device=/dev/ttyACM0 my-number = YOUR_MOBILE_NUMBER connect-allow-ip = 127.0.0.1 than create a modem group group = modems id = "sonyericsson_K750" name = "Sony Ericsson_K750" detect-string = "Sony Ericsson" detect-string2 = "K750" init-string = "AT+CNMI=2,3,0,0,0" # speed = 9600 [Default] # enable-hwhs = "AT+IFC=2,2" [Default] # need-sleep = false [Default] # no-pin = false [Default] # no-smsc = false [Default] # sendline-sleep = 100 [Default, miliseconds] # keepalive-cmd = "AT" [Default] # broken = false [Default] # message-storage = "SM" # enable-mms = false [Default] You might check the init-string and the other parameters i order to get it working. Usually people are experiencing problems due to bad init string after this try to start the bearerbox manually in debug mode: ./bearerbox -v 0 /etc/kannel.conf i think that ubuntu stores the config in /etc/kannel.conf if not change it to the right file location. Somewhere in the debug output of bearerbox between the at commands you should see something similar to: DEBUG: AT2[/dev/ttyACM0]: found string <Sony Ericsson> plus <K750>, using modem definition <Sony Ericsson_K750> and at the end: INFO: AT2[/dev/ttyACM0]: AT SMSC successfully opened. which means that bearerbox has successfully created connection to the phone. One more thing, I suggest you to download the kannel source and compile it your self to conform your needs. The compiled package is sort of generically compiled ;) BR, Jovan
