"internet" entry will vary depending on telco settings?
For globe i use "internet.globe.com.ph", username=globe, password=globe
I use gnome-ppp to manage the connection to have the cutsey gui icon to
connect/disconnect. But the additional init strings you have to put in. The
special dialin number *99# or *99***3# works for most devices. I've used
several usb HSDPA dongles. Better google for your device's settings.

Now if only someone would package that (like what Apple did on Mac OSX), and
integrate it with Network Manager that would be even better!

In my Yahoo blog, I reposted Gideon Guillen's article on connecting your Linux
laptop to the Internet, using a 3G phone. I have added other important
details, in an attempt to make the connection process as painless as possible.
Here is the link to my post, which I have also included below:

Using 3G Phone to Connect Linux Laptop to Internet (Jul 18 08)
Gideon Guillen wrote in his blog a procedure for using a Motorola V6 mobile
phone as a modem to connect your Linux laptop to the Internet.
http://elijah.pinoguin.com/blog/blog-view/article/motorola-v6-as-modem-in-ubuntu-linux.html
His procedure actually works for the Nokia 6680 3G phone (and possibly other 3G
phones as well) when used as a modem for your Fedora-9 or Debian Testing
(Lenny) to connect to the Internet using a Smart Buddy prepaid SIM.
Let me recap the important steps to do:
1. On your Nokia 6680 phone, get the correct Internet settings by sending the
following text message to 211:
SET N6680
Smart replies by giving you the correct settings for SmartGPRS, SmartInternet,
and SmartMMS. Save all of these settings as the default settings for your
phone. If prompted for pasword, type 1234, unless you changed the default
password on your phone. If you have a different phone, you can get the correct
message to send to 211 by sending the following text message to 211 instead:
SET LIST
After installing the correct settings for GPRS, Internet and MMS, your phone is
ready for stand-alone use for connecting to the Internet using your phone's
little Web browser. However, you would like to use your laptop with your phone,
since your laptop has a better keyboard and mouse and a bigger, more
comfortable screen. You need the data cable DKU-2 to connect your N6680 phone
to the USB port of your laptop. The DKU-2 cable is part of the Nokia 6680
package, but if your package does not include the data cable, you can always
get one from CDR-King or from any cellphone store. A different 3G phone will
use a different data cable.
2. On your Linux laptop, install wvdial and ppp, if you do not already have
them. In Fedora, these were installed by default, but in Debian, I had to get
them using apt-get:
apt-get install wvdial
After installing wvdial, as root, create or modify the file /etc/wvdial.conf so
that it contains the following:
[Dialer Defaults]
Init1 = ATZ
Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0
Init3 = AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","internet"
Modem Type = USB Modem
ISDN = 0
Phone = *99#
New PPPD = yes
Modem = /dev/ttyACM0
Username = yourusername
Password = yourpassword
Baud =
460800
Idle Seconds = 3000
Auto DNS = 1
Stupid Mode = 1
Compuserve = 0
Baud = 460800
Dial Command = ATD
Ask Password = 0
FlowControl = NOFLOW
3. As root user, install your user account in the file /etc/sudoers. For
example, if you are user "ambo", you need to add the line
ambo ALL=(ALL) ALL
to the /etc/sudoers file.
4. Before dialing, connect your phone to your laptop using the USB data cable,
and check that the phone has already been detected by the system. Type the
command
dmesg | grep ttyACM
and if you see a line containing /dev/ttyACM0, that means your phone is already
detected by the system and you can now dial. As a normal user (in my case, I am
user "ambo"), dial Smart by typing the following command in a terminal window:
sudo wvdial
This command dials the Smart Internet number, manages a ppp connection,
performs "ifconfig" to assign an IP address to your laptop, does
a "route add" command to fix the routing table, and installs the DNS IP
numbers provided by Smart in /etc/resolv.conf. Do not exit from this terminal
window -- typing a control-C in this window will disconnect you from the
Internet.
As a normal user, check if you have a successful connection by giving the
command:
dig www.google.com
If the system gives you the IP address of Google, then you are now connected to
the Internet. Smart will charge you ten pesos for every 30 minutes of Internet
use.
Some notes:
This procedure works without fail in my Debian Testing/Lenny laptop. Since
Ubuntu is a Debian derivative, it should also work for Ubuntu. However, on my
Fedora laptop, I needed to manually copy the DNS values given by the ppp
connection into the file /etc/resolv.conf. I had to type the entries
nameserver 203.84.191.216
nameserver 121.1.3.250
in /etc/resolv.conf. I think the Fedora ppp package or the
Fedora NetworkManager package does not automatically take care of this.
Thank you Gideon Guillen for providing us with this useful procedure.
