WvDial Setup
- Make sure your modem is connected and turned on (if you have an external modem).
- Create a wvdial.conf file by issuing the following command:
wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf
- This command will result in output similar to this:
- Scanning your serial ports for a modem.
- ttyS1<*1>: ATQ0 V1 E1 -- OK
- ttyS1<*1>: ATQ0 V1 E1 Z -- OK
- ttyS1<*1>: ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 -- OK
- ttyS1<*1>: ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 -- OK
- ttyS1<*1>: ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 -- OK
- ttyS1<*1>: ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 S11=55 -- OK
- ttyS1<*1>: ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 S11=55 +FCLASS=0 -- OK
- ttyS1<*1>: Modem Identifier: ATI -- 5601
- ttyS1<*1>: Speed 2400: AT -- OK
- ttyS1<*1>: Speed 4800: AT -- OK
- ttyS1<*1>: Speed 9600: AT -- OK
- ttyS1<*1>: Speed 19200: AT -- OK
- ttyS1<*1>: Speed 38400: AT -- OK
- ttyS1<*1>: Speed 57600: AT -- OK
- ttyS1<*1>: Speed 115200: AT -- OK
- ttyS1<*1>: Max speed is 115200; that should be safe.
- ttyS1<*1>: ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 S11=55 +FCLASS=0 -- OK
- ttyS0<*1>: ATQ0 V1 E1 -- ATQ0 V1 E1 -- ATQ0 V1 E1 -- nothing.
- Port Scan<*1>: S2 S3
- Found a modem on /dev/ttyS1.
- ttyS1: Speed 115200; init "ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 S11=55 +FCLASS=0"
- Edit your configuraton file at /etc/wvdial.conf and input your account information. The following lines should be changed:
- Phone = 9900900 <- Your local XMission access number.
- Username = acctname <- Your XMission username.
- Password = password <- Your password.
- To insure your PPP password is secure, issue the command,
chmod 600 /etc/wvdial.conf
- Configuration is complete. To connect, issue the command "wvdial" at a root prompt.
