If CSD[1] is available from your provider, then you can do that,
right. If not, all you can do is to write some smart enough script
that would do something with the connection once it tears off (in
fact, probably simply adding "persist" option to pppd will suffice).
OK, I will check with VirginMobile (Australia) but if that doesn't work
I could switch to Telstra. Are there some working scripts around to do
the PPP stuff?
There's plenty of examples for using gprs/3g under GNU/Linux the
"manual way".
I assume you're already using pppd for establishing the connection
from the remote system to some host in the internet that you
control.
No - when I plug the dongle in, I just let NetworkManager find it and
set it up. I haven't got it in front of me now, but I think I have to
type some sort of keyring password to allow the connection?
I think simply adding "persist lcp-echo-failure 10
lcp-echo-interval 5" options to its config (/etc/ppp/options or
/etc/ppp/peers/<yourpppdscript> or some other way specific to how you
start pppd) should be enough.
I want to make the connection from the other direction - from my normal
F14 desktop TO the remote Virgin mobile broadband dongle F14 machine.
Thanks,
Phil.
