You do not need wvdialconf to set up your modem strings and
you can even enter it manually. Just note down your modem
init string as you use in windows. Make a file as root with
the name /etc/wvdial.conf. Put something like this:
---------<snip>-----------
[Dialer Defaults]
Phone = NNNNNN # actual phone number
Username = [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Password = your_password
Dial Command = ATDT # or ATDP for pulse dial
New PPPD = yes
Modem = /dev/sm56 # put in the correct device here
Baud = 57600
Init1 = ATZ
Init2 = AT&F E0 V1 E1 &C1 &D2 S95=47 S10=250 X3 L3
--------</snip>-----------
Note: INIT2 needs to be modified for your card. I have only
put in a default set which works well with VSNL connects.
Type in wvdial as root ... and it should work.
Note, /dev/modem is not a device. This is usually a symlink
to the actual device. Ensure that the symlink is pointed to
the correct device ("ls -al /dev/modem").
Your ppp device should be registered by your kernel at boot
For checking do a "dmesg | less". You should get something
like:
PPP: version X.Y.Z (demand dialling)
PPP line discipline registered.
PPP BSD Compression module registered
registered device ppp0
If not, you know where the problem lies ... the kernel !

Amend this section to read :
search whatever.vsnl.net.in
domain whatever.vsnl.net.in
nameserver 202.54.12.6
nameserver 202.54.12.3

Also ensure that the general PPPD options are fulfilled here
in /etc/ppp/options. The usual things which work with VSNL
looks something like this ...
-----------<snip>-----------------------
# General configuration options for PPPD:
lock
defaultroute
noipdefault
modem
/dev/xxxx # enter correct device
57600
crtscts
# for more verbose error reporting:
debug
#noauth # To avoid PPPD authentication which
# VSNL does not need, no harm though
# keeping noauth enabled for dial-out
# only boxes.
-----------</snip>-----------------------
Please see the docs in /usr/share/doc/ppp* to under-
stand what I am talking about.

This is what surprises me. Please do a "lsmod" and see
if ppp is listed there ... I can't understand above ..

Obviously, your pppd has failed in linking to VSNL and VSNL
got fed up and ditched you !

Sub : Changing 80x25 on console LOST #068
To change console from default 80x25, experiment with various
settings in /etc/TextConfig. You need to have "svgatextmode"
package installed for that. It will work on console only .....
It will not work under X (i.e. xterm or rxvt).
Try: SVGATextMode 80x30x9
