Cell Phone Modem Configuration

(1/1)

morpheus2485:
i'm trying to get my cell phone (motorola timeport 270c - CDMA (NOT GSM)) to interface with my laptop (running gentoo linux 2.6.7 kernel) so that i can have a mobile modem.

unfortunately the whole thing isn't communicating, so i'm gonna spew out the var
ious info i have and hope that one of you smart peoples can point me in the corr
ect dirrection.

when i plug the phone into the laptop /var/log/messages outputs:
Aug  4 14:13:24 widget usb 4-1: new full speed USB device using address 2
Aug  4 14:13:25 widget cdc_acm 4-1:1.0: ttyACM0: USB ACM device
Aug  4 14:13:25 widget usbcore: registered new driver cdc_acm
Aug  4 14:13:25 widget drivers/usb/class/cdc-acm.c: v0.23:USB Abstract Control M
odel driver for USB modems and ISDN adapters

thusly, they can talk and the kernel module loads correctly....

so then i try to create the configuration file for wvdial so that i can dial out
, and i get this:


/var/log# wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf
Scanning your serial ports for a modem.

Sorry, no modem was detected!  Is it in use by another program?
Did you configure it properly with setserial?

Please read the FAQ at http://open.nit.ca/wvdial/

If you still have problems, send mail to wvdial-list@lists.nit.ca.

so now i'm led to believe that i am supposed to configure my cell phone with set
serial, but i'm completely lost... since it's a USB does it even need a com port
? baud rate? am i going about this in entirely the wrong way? what does /var/log
/messages mean when it says that the device is using 'address 2' (which incrimen
ts each time i disconnect and reconnect the phone)?

note: i've also played around with minicom to try and get some response but have
 gotten nowhere.

Ricky:
ok.. so ur phone is connected via USB and is on ttyACM0

so u just creat wvdial.conf using the example i have given for other cdma phone in tutorial section then replace port with ttyACM0 and don't run wvdialconf utitlity.. then tell  us
