BSNL EVDO setup in linux...

ubuntu :
i used the wvdial tool to setup the modem...
type the following commands,

#sudo wvdialconf

Enter the administrator password. The modem settings will be written in the file /etc/wvdial.conf .


 #vim /etc/wvdial.conf

use any editor and enter the username password and phone no in the aforementioned file.

then save it.
the file will look like :

[Dialer Defaults]
 Init1 = ATZ
 Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0
 Modem Type = Analog Modem
 ISDN = 0
 Phone = #777
 Modem = /dev/ttyUSB0
 Username = **********
 Password = **********
 Baud = 9600
 Stupid Mode = 1

Now type,

#wvdial

the output :

--> pppd: �Ť[08](Ȥ[08]
--> pppd: �Ť[08](Ȥ[08]
--> pppd: �Ť[08](Ȥ[08]
--> pppd: �Ť[08](Ȥ[08]
--> pppd: �Ť[08](Ȥ[08]
--> local  IP address 117.254.223.55
--> pppd: �Ť[08](Ȥ[08]
--> remote IP address 192.168.52.12
--> pppd: �Ť[08](Ȥ[08]
--> primary   DNS address 218.248.240.134
--> pppd: �Ť[08](Ȥ[08]
--> secondary DNS address 218.248.240.181
--> pppd: �Ť[08](Ȥ[08]

This was my output but something of this sort shows that u are connected.

NOTE: instead of #sudo wvdialconf  we can directly copy the file details in /etc/wvdial.conf

Enjoy..
