I looked at what the pppd manual page has to say about the "call <name> debug" option. I am not sure what in this situation the <name> should be. Under "call <name>" the pppd manual name has this to say: "Read additional options from the file /etc/ppp/peers/<name>. This file may contain privileged options, such as noauth, even if pppd is not being run by root. The name string may not begin with / or include .. as a pathname component. The format of the options file is described below." In the /etc/ppp/peers/ directory there is only one file created since I started trying to configure the E620: wvdial.distrib. The directory also has a symbolic link: wvdial --> wvdia.distrib. That file contains the following text: noauth name wvdial usepeerdns Should the <name> in "call <name> debug be wvdial? Under the "debug" option in the "pppd" manual page appears the following: "Enables connection debugging facilities. If this option is given, pppd will log the contents of all control packets sent or received in a readable form. The packets are logged through syslog with facility daemon and level debug. This information can be directed to a file by setting up /etc/syslog.conf appropriately (see syslog.conf(5))." So, to make life easier I should add the following line in the rules section of /etc/rsyslog.conf (rssyslog is installed in my laptop, successor apparently to syslog): pppd.* -/var/log/pppd.log Correct? (I suppose I could grep all the pppd entries in / var/syslog to a separate file, but amending the rsyslog.conf seems easier and neater.) Finally, I should run the full command as root with the dongle attached, yes?
