Hi all I found out my Ericsson F3705g GSM/WCDMA modem can be configured to do all the LCP, auth, IPCP and routing stuff automagically. A couple of AT commands cu (radio on + connect) and a DHCP request on the cdce interface is all it takes to get a working connection. A couple AT commands more are needed to disconnect / disable radio.
What is the better way to automate this connecting / disconnecting? Can chat(8) be used outside ppp/pppd? Anything usable by netstart?... Unrelated but someone might care: the ThinkPad's BIOS whines about the card being unsupported, but I managed to get it working. I just need to turn it off and then back on on the BIOS, and not take too long between reboots. acpidumps are equal whether the card is detected or not.
