For anybody setting up the above, and using KDE, you may want to try
Kwvdial, available from
http://www.cnss.ca/~ppatters/KWvDial.html.
It's a very intuitive graphical implementation of wvdial. I had two
issues after installation...
One, to use it as an ordinary user I had to do a "chmod +s
/opt/kde/bin/kwvdial" and two, I needed to use the original wvdial to
generate the wvdial.conf, as kwvdial didn't seem to do it correctly for
me.
To save anyone else the trouble of downloading both here's my
wvdial.conf:
[Dialer Defaults]
Modem = /dev/ttyS0
Baud = 57600
Init1 = ATZ
Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 S11=55 +FCLASS=0
Phone = 13321,03001235
Username = nolimits
Password = nolimits
Init3 = ATX4
Stupid Mode = yes
Auto Redial = yes
New PPPD = yes
Dial Command = ATDT
Init4 = ATM1L1
Note: I am waiting for ESAT to provide me with a corporate dialer, so
at the moment, I need to put the "13321" in front of all of my calls to
get out onto the ESAT phone network. Anyone whose dialer has been
installed and is working should remove this. Also, you should change
the Modem and Baud settings to fit your own configuration.
