If you can do it with wvdial, it can also be done using gentoo net.* init scirpts. For example this is the wvdial.conf for my gprs phone: [Dialer Defaults] #Modem = /dev/ttyACM0 Modem = /dev/rfcomm0 Baud = 460800 Init1 = ATZ Init2 = AT+CGDCONT=1,"ip","internet.wind","",0,0 ISDN = 0 Modem Type = Analog Modem Carrier Check = no Phone = *99***1# Username = wind Password = wind And this is the equivalent part in my /etc/conf.d/net config_ppp2=( "ppp" ) link_ppp2="/dev/rfcomm0" username_ppp2='wind' password_ppp2='wind' pppd_ppp2=( "noauth" "defaultroute" "usepeerdns" ) phone_number_ppp2=( "*99***1#" ) chat_ppp2=" ABORT '\nBUSY\r' ABORT '\nERROR\r' ABORT '\nNO ANSWER\r' ABORT '\nNO CARRIER\r' ABORT '\nNO DIALTONE\r' ABORT '\nRINGING\r\n\r\nRINGING\r' '' '\rAT' TIMEOUT 12 OK ATZ OK 'AT+cgdcont=1,\"IP\",\"internet.wind\"' OK 'ATDT\T' TIMEOUT '60' CONNECT '' TIMEOUT '5' '~--' '' " So, instead of using wvdial I just run "/etc/init.d/net.ppp2 start" and "/etc/init.d/net.ppp2 stop". --- TopperH http://topperh.blogspot.com
