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 On Mon, Jan 25, 2010 at 11:43 AM, Ndungi Kyalo <ndungi@gmail.com> wrote:
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,
