wvdial connection to Telecom New Zealand 3G Network

Hi Guys,

I am trying to use wvdial to connect to the network (Network Manager works fine, but I want to use wvdial for other reasons).

When I try to connect I get this error

.....
CONNECT 7200000
The PPP daemon has died. (exit code = 127)

My wvdial.conf file is:

[Dialer Defaults]
Init1 = ATZ
Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0
Modem Type = Analog Modem
Phone = *99#
ISDN = 0
Password = passwd  
Username = user   
Modem = /dev/ttyUSB2
Baud = 9600

[Dialer Telecom]
Stupid Mode = 1
Baud = 460800
New PPPD = yes
Init3 = AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","direct.telecom.co.nz"

Most of the above was obtained with wvdialconf, the rest I entered by looking at Network Managers settings.
Is there something I can try to get PPP to not drop the connection? ..

Thanks.
B

Hi bmentink,

I had lots of problems using wvdial for my own GPRS cellphone and now, successful in establishing the network, even though I still have issues with my network-manager .

My question for you is,

1) Are you sure that it is /dev/USB2 ?
2) Is it a cellphone you are using for connection, if so, then I guess username and password should be your phone number (depends on your service provider actually)
3) Have you installed the required kernel modules ?

With regards,

Hi Ajay,

Answers to your questions:
1. Not sure, wvdialconf detected that port as the one to use .... I will try the other ones.
2. I am using a T-stick with no password, wvdial wont accept blank password/username, I might also try password = " " syntax ..
3. What kernel modules need to be loaded?

Cheers,
B.

Hi bmentink,

I have less ideas, but this is what I can tell now,

-> Other Kernel modules not required, if u were using cellphone through ttyACM0, then it required cdc_acm module
-> Modem Type try with USB Modem
-> Init 2=ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0
-> Baud rates you have put two values, use 460800
-> Password = internet
-> Username = internet
-> And check whether your APN and phone that is *99# is the correct ones (some use *99***#, #777, *99***1# etc )

Thats it for now,

And well, I too will wait for some other who knws a solid solution for this to reply.

With regards,

Thanks.

I will try the "internet" password/username ... I think *99# is correct as Network Manager uses that and it works ok. APN is same as what network manager uses.
Two baud rates is ok, the last baud rate overides the default value ..

Cheers,
B
