Hi, you say you’re looking for a suitable way to do tjis connection rather than using console, which is the coolest and hackiest way to go.

I found out that KPPP is a very nice solution, I’m using Fedora 11, I followed your guidelines and got it up’n'running in some minutes.

Anyway I just opened kppp and clicked Configure and then created an account using default info provided vy Movistar my carrier and used *99# as phone number, went to Modem tab and looked for /dev/ttyUSB0, selected it, changed the DNS nameservers to OpenDNS’, and left the other setting pretty untouched, then put username/password and hit connect and there I go, “connected”.

Tjhe only bad thing is that I cannot get pings lower than 280-450 ms and the connection is according to Movistar 1MBits, I’d like to know how to make Movistar Desktop work Under my distro but it’s off-topic here so…

Anyway thanks for your tutorial, for those interested here’s my wvdial.conf

[Dialer Defaults]
Modem = /dev/ttyUSB0
Baud = 460800
Init1 = ATZ
Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0

u can put those final commands that establish the connection in a shell script, and then create a shortcut on the desktop that would contain the path to that script as command to run

they suggested using X-ISP which has debian and rpm packages;

I am trying to help my daughter, who is overseas in Australia, get connected to the internet using her Xandros ASUS and a Huawei 160G stick;
I too have an ASUS and as a trial I have successfully downloaded and installed X-ISP;
now I need to try to understand how to configure X-ISP for a Huawei 160G
