Trying to setup GPRS connection via USB with Motorola E380
Greetings,
I bought Red Hat 9 a couple months now and i'm just finding the vibes/time to mess with it, i'm so excited :-) Anyway, my first problem is how to get this thing online??? I'm dualbooting with WIN2000 and i have a PCI 56k and a USB GPRS connection that keeps me going, however, Linux is not too friendly with either of them as it doesn't see the modem and i don't how/where/what to look for when i plug in the GPRS cable. Well, what else can i say, i'm stuck like a duck! Any suggestions appreciated. Thanks! |
Over 200 views and still no reply?!! I have tried KPPP but was unsuccessful. I followed info received from www.techjamaica.com I'm still looking:study: Can someone assist:Pengy: I am posting this using Windows XP and a program called GPRS Manager from Motorola. The PC crashed twice!!! I have a love/hate relationship with Windows. I would love to hate it but I can't figure out how to get on the net with my Mandrakelinux 10.0. I am now using Mozilla Firefox for Windows and no crashes so far. I have no other way to get on the internet at this time. Does anyone know how to get my Motorola E380 connected using a USB cable to my Linux box to get on the net using my phones GPRS:Pengy: :Pengy: I would be grateful get rid of Windows forever. I'd even remove 'Longhorn' from ny user name.:D

hehe,
hey, i hope the be running all linux by jan 05! i got two desktops which are like silk thread, everything's fine!! I was introduced to fedora1 via a book i bought from bn.com, now i'm all over fedora three digging through the mess :-) my real problem is my hp zd7168cl laptop, it's got a 17" screen that just won't give me a reasonable resolution under rh9/fc1/fc3, but i'm still at it!! n e way, for OUR problem try minicom, it might just work for you, then you can tell me all about it :-) :-) |
btw, i can see the port the phone's on but it's not responding to any AT commands ..... good luck

solution
there is a programme called 'Modemlink' in knoppix and kanotix. May be you can download it from somewhere or use harddisk install of kanotix as I do. It detects the mobile device and creates link as /dev/modem, then you can use kppp to dial out.
It detectes irda, cable, and bluetooth. I am using nokia 6820 and bluetooth. I can get the whole system connected to the internet within 10 minutes including the installation. Cheers Jigsih |
Aha!
Thanks for that, i'll let you know! Respect! |
Thanx, but....
I tried to get your 'modemlink' software from the net, but I couldn't find any website hosting it.
I even try to find it on a knoppix ftp, but there's no way I can find somewhere to just grab a package. Moreover, what is exactly modemlink? Is it a script ? is it a bin ? Since I can't get it just by itself, I would be pleased to know a little more about it before downloading a whole ISO with a 56K line... Hope you'll answer me. =] |
I had a similar problem, but i gave up, the funny thing is i attached the phone to my friends laptop running Suse, and the phone/modem worked like a charm.........

Sadness, despair, void...
Thanks for that ! Maybe it should have cheered me up ? It didn't =)
I won't give up... I'm a little bit disturbed by the fact that some distros are packed with specific software that you can't get anywhere else but the distro installed itself... Maybe am I wrong... but "open source", "sharing of knowledge"... All those beautiful words have they been forgotten by some of us ???? Plus, I can attach my phone to my laptop ; it's found by the kernel like an usb modem... But I just can't dial with it... I've try the "GPRS Easy Connection" tool, but it failed every time I tried, whatever the conf params were, it failed... If someone out there hear my call... Please answer me... I'm just trying to call home (with gprs)... =) |
The phone is a modem (/dev/ttyACM0), you can use ppp to connect. Nothing special needed.
What is it doing? |
Hi,
I've tried to use PPP but a coudln't find a correct chat script for my phone. If you've got one, with a lot of comments so that I could understand what's written... Thanks :) |
I normally use the dialup tools that come with my distro, like kinternet which uses wvdial. However I did try chat and here is how I am connected now. Your device is probably /dev/ttyACM0 which does not matter to pppd.
I use cdma, if you get errors let us know.. # grep vzw /etc/ppp/pap-secrets 251533xxxx@vzw3g.com * vzw * Code:
