Hi all,

After looking around at various data plan, etc, I decided I would go for
Three's "Broadband Lite" package for my phone.

I am trying to get both USB and Bluetooth connections working.

Currently I have /dev/rfcomm0 up and running, and my wvdial.conf is as such:

[Dialer Defaults]
Init1=ATZ
Init2=ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0
Init3=AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","mobile.three.co.uk","",0,0
modem=/dev/rfcomm0
Baud=460800
Modem Type=Analog Modem
ISDN=0
Phone = *99#
Username = user
Password = passwd
New PPPD = yes
Stupid Mode = 1

Now, when I try "wvdial" from the commandline (as root), I get:

--> WvDial: Internet dialer version 1.60
--> Cannot get information for serial port.
--> Initializing modem.
--> Sending: ATZ

I get the same thing when I try with /dev/ttyACM0 (ie my phone's USB
connection).

Any thoughts?
Grant. :)
