Thanks again for your thoughts Ndungi, I had run this script before and it does update the conf file, with ttyUSB0. When I then replace my RUIM username/password I still get the same NO CARRIER DETECTED output unfortunately.... Below is the output I get when I run wvdialconf, maxspeed at 9600 does not seem right?!

Hi Mark,
Username and password are the ones that came with the RUIM card.
Am not sure about the line `Dial Command = ATM1L3DT` or `Init = ATX0` either. The best bet on these is to plug in your EVDO and then run `wvdialconf`. wvdialconf will generate the correct wvdial.conf; just without your username+password, and the Phone = xxxx parameter. However if `Dial Command = ATM1L3DT` and `Init = ATX0` work on mac then noneed to change it.
I cannot remember whether it was /dev/ttyUSB0 or 1, but luckily wvdialconf almost always writes a .conf with the correct serial device. You can try switching the `0` with a `1` for a quick test though..
Regards and good luck.

Thanks for responding Ndungi, it seems like several serial ports are attached in /var/log/messages, so not sure which to use (ttyUYSB0, 1 or 2). Do you know if I need to use 'Orangefixedplus' and 'Orange' as the username/password combo, or my personal one that came with the RUIM card? On my Mac I use the latter with success :)
My latest wvdial.conf looked like this:
[Dialer Defaults] Modem = /dev/ttyUSB0 ISDN = off Modem Type = USB Modem Baud = 460800 Init = ATX0 Phone = #777
Dial Prefix = Dial Attempts = 1 Dial Command = ATM1L3DT Ask Password = off Password = 020xxxx Username = xxxx Auto Reconnect = on Abort on Busy = off Carrier Check = no Check Def Route = on Abort on No Dialtone = on Stupid Mode = on Idle Seconds = 0 Auto DNS = on [Dialer shh] Init3 = ATM0
The response: --> WvDial: Internet dialer version 1.60 --> Cannot get information for serial port. --> Initializing modem. --> Sending: ATX0 ATX0 OK --> Modem initialized. --> Sending: ATM1L3DT#777 --> Waiting for carrier. ATM1L3DT#777 NO CARRIER --> No Carrier! Trying again. --> Maximum Attempts Exceeded..Aborting!! --> Disconnecting at Mon Jan 25 12:06:16 2010
Thanks for any pointers!
cheers, Mark

You will sometimes get that response if you havent bought the bundle, or paid cause it cant authenticate your username and password. Alternatively, post your wvdial.conf here; and append the output you get form the terminal when you run wvdial. -- Ndungi Kyalo biblia.kenya.or.ke

Hi guys,
Just wanted to find out whether someone managed to get the Orange EVDO modem working under Linux. I tried under Ubuntu 9.10 and am nog getting any carrier response, though I am sure it must be possible (I was able to connect under 9.04 I believe). I am hoping to use the Ubuntu box as an internet gateway for my LAN. Orange's deal of 1 KES per 1Mb seems to be one of the better deals.
cheers,
