setting up internet using flexi

well, for those of you living in indonesia can start surfing through the internet using CDMA phone.
for this though I use flexi.

firstly you need to have DKU cable for your phone so that you can connect your laptop with your phone. for this I use nokia 6275i cdma

plug the DKU cable to your laptop and type this command in your console

jacobian@jacobian-laptop:~$ tail -f /var/log/messages

my CDMA modem was detected as ttyACM0, now we do the next configuration

jacobian@jacobian-laptop:~$ sudo gedit /etc/wvdial.conf
##this will open up a file, delete the content of that file and write this configuration into that file

[Dialer cdma]
Modem = /dev/ttyACM0
Baud = 115200
Init1 = AT+crm=1
FlowControl = CRTSCTS
Phone = #777
Username = telkomnet@flexi-time
Password = telkom
Ask Password = 0
Dial Command = ATDT
Stupid Mode = 1
Compuserve = 0
Force Address =
Idle Seconds = 300
DialMessage1 =
DialMessage2 =
ISDN = 0
Auto DNS = 0
New PPPD = yes

close the the file and then type the following command in your konsole

jacobian@jacobian-laptop:~$ wvdial cdma
