Anything You Can Do PT2
Alright I said I would post the method I used to get my Motorola Q9m to tether as a modem for high speed access.
First need to install Gnome PPP
In terminal type:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgradeapt-get install gnome-ppp
Before you insert the Card or connect USB cable open terminal window and type:
cat /proc/bus/usb/devices > devices
Insert your data card or plug in USB cable (Make sure phone is in Modem or Tether Mode First) and wait for a few seconds before continuing.
In terminal type:
dmesg
You will get output with some device info like this :
[17186692.460000] usb 3-1: configuration #1 chosen from 2
choices[17186692.460000] cdc_acm 3-1:1.0: ttyACM0: USB ACM
device[17186708.176000] usb 3-1: USB disconnect, address 4
[17186714.588000] usb 3-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address
At the end of this output you will find your device witch will be
represented like this: ttyACM0 or ttyUSB or similar , make note of it
you will need it later.
In terminal type:
sudo gedit /etc/ppp/options
Find and change the following lines so they look like this:
lcp-echo-interval 0
lcp-echo-failure 0
Now click on Applications > Internet > Gnome PPP
Click <Settings>, Enter the device from the steps above: mine was /dev/ttyACM0
Change Speed to the highest setting
Uncheck <Wait For Dail Tone>
Click <Close>
In the line ” Username = ” put your phone number followed by your providers domain, for Verizon it is area code, your phone number and domain, in this format: 9178889999@vzw3g.com for Sprint it will be 9178889999@sprintpcs.com, for AT&T / Cingular WAP@CINGULARGPRS.COM, for Alltel 9178889999@alltel.net and so on, further post have config’s posted for other providers.
In line ” password = ” in case of Verizon put: “vzw” for Cingular:
“cingular1″ and so on, make sure to check with your provider as username and/or password may differ for other regions and countries.
Number to dial for Verizon is #777 not sure the others.
