[FSUG-Bangalore] Help with configuring reliance data card on hardy

[Harish Singh]

Vinay,

The configuration for my USB modem from BSNL on Ubuntu is working. The
wvdial.conf file should be as below. After you copy this to /etc/wvdial.conf
you'll need to run the wvdialconf again to get the setup right.

[Dialer Defaults]
Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0
Modem Type = Analog Modem
Phone = #777
ISDN = 0
Username = my username
Init1 = ATZ
Password = my password
Modem = /dev/ttyUSB0
Baud = 460800
Auto DNS = off
Auto Reconnect = on
dns = 208.67.222.222
dns = 208.67.220.220
Stupid Mode = 1

regards,

Harish
