That should create a serial port.
dmesg | grep -i tty
sudo apt-get install wvdial rpm -ivh wvdial
wvdialconf
next edit wvdial.conf to include emtel settings as jochen said. Make sure you don't copy&paste the full settings as your serial port will get over written.
Used that on my alcatel modem :)
Goodluck and maybe I will show up if available...Date: Tue, 29 Oct 2013 21:36:50 +0400

though seriously, I have no clue how to use that on nix. Never used it on a nix box.




Works as a normal, serial modem. Just use USB ports... Either you use the graphical Network Manager or for console-lovers: wvdial and following options in /etc/wvdial.conf:



[Dialer Defaults]

New PPPD = yes

Stupid Mode = 1

Dial Command = ATDT



; optional pin

[Dialer pin]

Modem = /dev/ttyUSB0

Init1 = AT+CPIN=1234



[Dialer emtel]

Phone = *99#

Username = emtel

Password = emtel

Modem = /dev/ttyUSB0

Baud = 3774000

Init2 = ATZ

Init3 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0

Init4 = AT+cgdcont=1,"ip","web"

ISDN = 0

Modem Type = Analog Modem



Then you can connect like so:



$ wvdial emtel



This will establish the dialing and then dispatch the process to pppd. Also, check your [ch|p]ap-secrets for matching username & password.



Works like a charm and I'll have one dongle on my office router, as fail-safe in case that the default WiMAX connection has an issue...
