Hi am using the bsnl evdo AC8700 on Ubuntu 9.10

This is my wvdial.conf
[Modem0]
Modem = /dev/ttyUSB0
Baud = 115200
SetVolume = 0
Dial Command = ATDT
Init1 = ATZ
FlowControl = Hardware (CRTSCTS)
Init1 = ATZ
Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0
# Init3 = at+crm=1;+cmux=1;+cps=33;+cta=0
Modem Type = Analog Modem
Baud = 115200
New PPPD = yes
Idle Seconds = 90
Auto Reconnect = off

[Dialer evdo]
Modem = /dev/ttyUSB0
Baud = 230400
Phone = #777
Init1 = ATZ
Stupid Mode = 1
Dial Command = ATDT
Username = 165
Password = 165
# below line error in spelling crtcts which should be crtscts
# PPPD Options = crtcts multilink usepeerdns lock defaultroute
# PPPD Options = crtscts multilink usepeerdns lock defaultroute
# Inherits = Modem0


This is dmesg when i connect the device

I did not have to set anything up except wvdial, It worked for a while
through network manager, it still works on another 9.10 machine but on
mine its a bit reluctant,. It worked through gnome-pp too but i
preferred wvdial and it works swell, am on it right now.

The password is default for all evdo's in Uttarakhand (i think)
