Mauricio,
Exactly, I guess there must be some algorithm, so as to identify the init
string that the modem likes (brute-force would be like searching a pearl in
the desert).
Any how, on some more googling (I am still awaiting a proper methodology to
do this), I tried with the following /etc/wvdial.conf (I just added the
"Init3" line to the self-generated file through "wvdialconf" command)::
########################################################################################################
[Dialer Defaults]
Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2
Init3 = AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","gprs.ancel"
Modem Type = Analog Modem
Phone = *99#
ISDN = 0
Username = ""
Init1 = ATZ
Password = ""
Modem = /dev/ttyUSB0
Baud = 9600
########################################################################################################
and here is what I get ::
########################################################################################################
-bash-4.1# sudo wvdial

Just some more notes ::::
a)
Some days back, (by Dan's help), I had a meeting with minicom, and tried
"AT&V" and "AT+CLAC" commands. That had resulted in a trivial ModemManager
fix (courtesy Dan).
I have installed the "fixed" ModemManager
(ModemManager-0.5.3.0-1.git20120606.fc14.i386), and the above results are
based on it.
Unfortunately, that modem (Claro) did not work even then. So we abandoned
it (since it was anyways a bit too sophisticated, being a dual-mode
modem/storage-device).
So, we have now switched to this (vanilla single-mode) modem (only) device.
b)
This modem works on Windows. So, I guess that the "external" requirements
are in place.
For brevity, I am attaching the "AT&V" and "AT+CLAC" files for the (new)
Ancel-GPRS modem.
Any help regarding the links to the methodologies of a USB modem would be
greatly appreciated :-) :-)
Thanks and Regards,
Ajay
