Hello Everyone,
MTNL has suddenly decided to do away with new subscriptions for the "Telephone for Internet" scheme where it charged a flat fee of Rs. 500/- per month for all calls unlimitted to any dialup ISP. The existing customers, that includes me, of this scheme are being told to 'kindly get lost' by increasing the monthly tarrifs from 500/- to 1000/- for Scheme A and 700/- to 1400/- for Scheme B. They are killing the dialup and dialup ISPs and are trying to push Triband down our throats. The triband is not viable for me as my usage is above 250 mb and I would require to shell out atleast 500/- + 250/- = 750/- every month and that too would be a limit of 400 MB. R-Connect gives me 1 GB for Rs 650/-.
I want to break MTNL's linux monopoly by using my newly acquired Reliance LSP350R for net usage in Linux. The Mandrake 10.1 does not mount it, although it detects it, inspite of all commands tried from the internet. The FC4 distro can detect it automatically and mounts it on /ttyACM0. The problem is that I am not able to get it talking in KPPP.
I tried the initialising string as it exists in the windows. I don't know what should be the 'Flow Control' option Hardware/Software/None and the Line Termination CR/LF/Both.
Has anyone successfully used this new model LSP350R for r-connect in linux. If so, please help me by giving me the detailed settings for the same. From 1st November the new tarrifs will be applicable so by then I have to make the necessary crossover.
Regards,
Rony.

Komal dear, you are a darling. :) I finally got my LG-LSP350R up and running on FC4.
Your above script was modified to select /dev/ttyACM0 as the modem. Still I kept getting 'No Carrier' errors. Then the string used in Windows was used AT+CRM=1;$LGPKT=3, the one which JTD too mentioned in his mail. This worked and I got connected. However sites would not open. The 'route add default ppp0' too did not work.
So I went to 'Internet Connection Wizard' and created a new modem on /dev/modem. Before that a soft link was created 'ln -s /dev/ttyACM0 /dev/modem'. Then the 'Network Device Control' was used to edit the modem init strings. However it overwrote the /etc/wvdial.conf and added extra entries.
They were trimmed to what you see below. Now, I can not only put the connection on and off but my sites open up too. The advantage of 'Network Device Control' is that it can be used by users too just like an on/off connection.
This is my wvdial.conf file. No need to touch /etc/resolv.conf.
[Modem0] Modem= /dev/ttyACM0 Init=ATZ Init2=AT+CRM=1;$LGPKT=3 Baud= 115200 SetVolume= 0 DialCommand=ATDT FlowControl= CRTSCTS
[Dialer Reliance] Username = 22XXXXXXXX Password = 22XXXXXXXX Phone = #777 Stupid Mode = 1 Inherits = Modem0
So those who use FC4 can directly got to 'Internet Connection Wizard' and create a new connection using /dev/modem pointing to /dev/ttyACM0. This automatically creates a /etc/wvdial.conf file and can be edited to the above configuration. Then use 'Network Device Control' and enjoy 16 KBytes/second download speeds.
Thanks once again buddy :)
Rony.
