Using wvdial dial-up in OpenSuse 10.3

OpenSuSE 10.3 (KDE), configuring dial-up using WVDIAL command line
====================================================================

The below steps on how to setup dial-up connecting using my Nokia 6230 mobile phone with USB cable:

> You may need to login using Root (Administrator) user

> Connect the mobile phone to the USB port (with Nokia USB cable)

> At command line (Terminal Program) execute the below command:
# wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf
So that the configuration file (/etc/wvdial.conf) will be updated
with the detected modem information.
the last few lines, you will see the similar output as below:
Found an USB modem on /dev/ttyACM0.
Modem configuration written to /etc/wvdial.conf.
ttyACM0: Speed 460800; init "ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0"

> The below is just part of the settings which is important settings
and it is just my example, pleases change it accordingly :

Init1 = ATZ
Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0
Init3 = AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","diginet" <-- info from your ISP Phone = *99# <-- info from your ISP Stupid Mode = 0 <-- if mode=1 is not working, set to 0 username = digi <-- info from your ISP password = digi <-- info from your ISP > Then run the below command to activate dial-up.
# wvdial

If dial-up successful, you can see the last few lines as follows:

--> PPP negotiation detected.
--> Starting pppd at Sat Dec 22 20:37:13 2007
--> Pid of pppd: 25060
