Hi,
I am trying to connect to the internet using an USB modem.
Tried with a Vodafone and Docomo SIMs, both which work in a mobile phone.
After authentication, it fails giving
*PCP: timeout sending Config-Requests*
Any pointers? The details are below...
WVDial output-
--> WvDial: Internet dialer version 1.60
--> Cannot get information for serial port.
--> Initializing modem.
--> Sending: ATZ
ATZ
OK
--> Sending: AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","portalnmms"

OK
--> Modem initialized.
--> Sending: ATDT*99#

--> man pppd explains pppd error codes in more detail.
--> Try again and look into /var/log/messages and the wvdial and pppd man
pages for more information.
--> Auto Reconnect will be attempted in 5 seconds
I am getting the following in the logs-

Baud = 460800
stupid mode = 1
new pppd = yes
