How to use Verizon

[MT_Head]

Hi,All
Thought that this be interesting for somebody.
I have Verizon Broadband card and use the following scripts.(card is PC5750)
The #1 is as follows
ttyACM0
115200
debug
noauth
defaultroute
usepeerdns
connect-delay 10000
user verizon's tel # @vzw3g.com
show-password
crtscts
lock
lcp-echo-failure 4
lcp-echo-interval 65535
connect '/usr/sbin/chat -v -t3 -f /etc/ppp/peers/1xevdo_chat'

Save as 1xevdo in/etc/ppp/peers

The 2ed is called1xevdo_chat
Abort 'no carrier' abort 'error' abort 'no dailtone'
abort 'busy' abort 'no answer'
''ATZ
ok-at-ok ATDT#777
connect \d\c

Save as /etc/ppp/peers


I connect by pppd call1xevdo press enter

Then you have to find what Ip address Verizon assigns your modem
tail -f /var/log/messages

look for local ip address

then add this to your routing table

route add default gw xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

This should do it
Now issue pppd call 1xevdo to connect
to disconnect killall pppd

Let me know if this works or if you have a better way
Thanks

Re: How to use Verizon

On my system I simply commented out the lcp-echo-* lines to solve problem with the card going dormant and crashing pppd.

I also simply setup a dialup account in Kppp to use to dial my connection.

I used to use scripts to dial, but Kppp works just fine.
