MTS Modem and Ubuntu 10.04 using wvdial

The default dialup connection using nm-applet is good, but it doesn't connect in one go (sometimes take about 10-15 tries and a couple of reinsertion of the modem). And all the while, it doesn't give any info!
So i felt i should have a little more information about what's happening, so i decided to connect with wvdial.

There's nothing much to do - install usb-modeswitch and wvdial through apt-get, then put this in /etc/wvdial.conf

[Dialer cdma]
Stupid Mode = 1
Inherits = Modem0
Password = mts
Username = internet@internet.mtsindia.in
Phone = #777

[Modem0]
Init1 = ATZ
SetVolume = 0
Modem = /dev/ttyUSB0
Baud = 115200
FlowControl = Hardware (CRTSCTS)
Dial Command = ATDT
now, restart, insert your modem, wait for some time and run sudo wvdial cdma.

When you start seeing some IP addresses, you are ready to go.

Thanks to this blog, for the precise and clear info.
