O.K. Jordi that sounds good! I have my supposed APN/Username/Password here.
I've configured pppconfig with my username, password and the telephone number as *99#, does that sound correct? Then I run 'pon o2' which seems to go ok, I then get a new ppp device listed under 'ifconfig'. However, I'm unable to ping any external addresses such as www.google.co.uk I'm wondering if this is a DNS issue?. When configuring pppconfig it asks if the DNS is static, dynamic or none, which of these should I be choosing? Also, how would you recommend I set this so that the connection is established on boot? The idea being that these are remote systems out in the field and I need them auto-connect and ensure they stay connected.

I connected the device and configured the device with pppconfig.Wvdial works fine too. The most difficult part is knowing the apn, username and passwords of the different isps. 2009/5/20 Robert Rawlins - Think Blue <[email protected]>: > Hi Jordi, > > Thanks for the reply, I appreciate it.
