package: pppconfig
version: 2.3.20
pppconfig (running in tty3, as root) failed to detect my USB mobile
broadband device.
pppconfig then offered to let me choose the device manually,
'(*) Manual Enter the port by
hand.'
So I selected <OK>
pppconfig replied
'Enter the port your modem is on.
/dev/ttyS0 is COM1 in DOS.
/dev/ttyS1 is COM2 in DOS.
/dev/ttyS2 is COM3 in DOS.
/dev/ttyS3 is COM4 in DOS.
/dev/ttyS1 is the most common. Note that this must be typed exactly
as
shown. Capitalization is important: ttyS1 is not the same as
ttys1.'
To obtain the above result,
I inserted my mobile broadband device into a USB socket and,
as root I gave the command pppconfig, and,
I input the following into pppconfig:-
Create Create a connection <OK>
Provider name: 'Three7' <OK>
(*) Dynamic Use dynamic DNS <OK>
Authentication: CHAP <OK>
user name my user name
password my password ( which is probably not needed)
Speed: 2048000 <OK>
Pulse or tone: (*) Tone <OK>
Phone Number: '*99#' <OK>
Choose modem config method: <Yes>
pppconfig offered 'Manual Enter the port by hand' <OK>
It produced the list of options which I have typed above.
I prefer that it correctly detects a mobile broadband modem on the
port /dev/ttyUSB0.
Failing that I would like pppconfig to include /dev/ttyUSB0 in its
list of options when the user has to enter it by hand.
{ severity: wishlist
It would also be nice if pppconfig were to suggest the telephone
number *99#,
if it detects the USB mobile broadband device.
}
Thank you very much for maintaining pppconfig.
It is usefull, especially just after installing Debian from DVD.
I wish that DVD-1 always contained pppconfig,
so that we can use ppp.
Best regards
