Hi all: While we are discussing how to connect our Linux system through varous ISPs, i thought of posting details of connecting to internet through Tata Indicom Plug2Surf.
Tata Indicom Plug2Surf is a CDMA 1x USB modem. The 'dmesg' output seen few seconds after the modem is plugged into a USB port looks like this: bound device '3-2:1.0' to driver 'cdc_acm' usb: Bound Device 3-2:1.0 to Driver cdc_acm kobject drivers: registering. parent: cdc_acm, set: <NULL> kobject_uevent_env kobject filter function caused the event to drop! usbcore: registered new interface driver cdc_acm drivers/usb/class/cdc-acm.c: v0.25:USB Abstract Control Model driver for USB modems and ISDN adapters Running the command /sbin/lsmod would show up 'cdc_acm' kernel module loaded. One needs to use 'wvdial' as the modem dialer. So, either you install the RPM (on OpenSuSe) or emerge wvdial (on Gentoo). Here are the settings that go in the /etc/wvdial.conf file [Dialer Defaults] Modem = /dev/ttyACM0 Baud = 460800 Init1 = ATZ Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0 Init3 = AT+CRM=1 ISDN = 0 Auto DNS = 1 Modem Type = USB Modem Phone = #777 Username = internet Password = internet Dial Command = ATDT Ask Password = 0 Stupid Mode = 1 Next, to be able to dial, you just run the command 'wvdial' from a prompt (you need to be logged in as root) and your connection should be up in about 20 seconds. Hope this helps. thanks Saifi.
