I have tried the USB card of Reliance and it got detected straight away with wvdial and is working fine. The wvdial.conf file that is working for me is : [Dialer Defaults] Modem = /dev/ttyUSB0 Baud = 230400 Init1 = ATZ Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0 Dial Command = ATDT Phone = #777 Username = YOUR PHONE NUMBER Password = YOUR PHONE NUMBER Stupid Mode = 1 #Add this lines in /etc/resolv.conf = #nameserver 202.138.103.100 = #nameserver 202.138.96.2 = #nameserver 202.138.103.100 = ISDN = 0 Modem Type = Analog Modem -- Peace, Force & Joy!
