I got it working with wvdial. Also got the modprobe to do it automagically as described in the blog. Just one problem I have a default gateway since I use the laptop at office too. wvdial/pppd does not put in a default route for the new connection. I tried the defaultroute option in the /etc/ppp/options and /etc/ppp/peers/wvdial files but no avail. Can u tell me a tric by which I can have the defaultroute inserted when i connect with wvdial and my office route put back when i disconnect?
After you are logged in give the command 'route add default ppp0' as root or sudo, from a second terminal assuming that your wvdial is ppp0. At office, continue to use it as before.

I really would like to make it into a simple script whith an icon which i can double click to start the vdata card & when i close it my office route is put back in place. I have started on it. I can get the script to dial and connect but then wvdial does not return and my next comand to make ppp0 default route does not execute. Also i would like to trap the close so I can put the office route back as default. Any tips?
Regards KK
