Connecting Debian to GPRS via Sony Ericsson
I was connecting mobile through USB cable. A month ago I was trying to connect Siemens mobile through IRDA dongle, but I give it up and made a gateway on Windows machine.
This time I found a solution. kppp didn’t work anyway, but it’s not a problem.
Install wvdial, it will scan your computer for available modems during installation. If you forgot to plug your phone, you can rerun scanning with wvdialconf.
The only thing that I had to modify in generated config was additional initialization string:
Init2 = AT+CGDCONT=1, "IP","yourprovider.com"
That’s it. Run wvdial and enjoy. Don’t forget to replace default route.
