I got it working with wvdial. Also got the modprobe to do it automagically as
described in the blog. Just one problem I have a default gateway since I use
the laptop at office too. wvdial/pppd does not put in a default route for the
new connection. I tried the defaultroute option in the /etc/ppp/options and
/etc/ppp/peers/wvdial files but no avail. Can u tell me a tric by which I can
have the defaultroute inserted when i connect with wvdial and my office route
put back when i disconnect?
a simple way could be through a shell script, which takes down the
office route, runs wvdial & sets it back when you kill it..
on another note..is there any tool for logging ppp traffic volume?..
since its importatnt to keep a track of how much data transfered, to
keep within limits, i know kppp does that.
