The gentoo guide was written with external USB plugin adapters in mind.

Minicom is a terminal emulator and you would be connecting directly to the device and issuing commands. If the the wvdial script failed, you run the commands in minicom to test, for example.

At least google and github page says it is there. https://github.com/gentoo-mirror/slonko It appears to be called gztool. Hope that helps. Dale :-) :-)

But: Compiling it from the github source fails because I haven't found all the prerequisites. Fetching a Debian compiled version and running deb2targz on it ends up with a .so file, which where to put? I haven't found it in any Gentoo overlays. How can I get hold of a version for Gentoo? -- Regards, Peter.

The problem is not the actual use of gunzip but the fact that you are trying to decompress a file without reading it from the beginning. Usually this is not possible. zcat build.log.gz | tail -n 30 would show you the last 30 lines but no new content because zcat or gunzip is not waiting for new input. You could try gztool https://github.com/circulosmeos/gztool/ "gztool -T" should work like "tail -f". Andreas

Did you check out the generic guide[1] for USB WWAN modems? It looks pretty consistent from when I set up a Gobi 3G card years ago. I got lazy and use tethering. This FAQ[2] walks you through a manual configuration of a Huawei WWWAN to test the concept. You will need to know you SIM PIN if used and certainly your APN for your Cell Provider. That ww* interface is auto-created and can be used with different configuration/managnement tools[3]. Good Luck!
