What's your favourite linux distro and why?

yup i m wit u

Im with u, mine is PCLinuxOS, its great u must try it guys, bt i cnt connect via GPRS on my 3220, this is due 2 my phone cable itself(DKU5) using its own drivers, and then it addition the phone having its own modem drivers, I think it should be much easier on my 6680 since its cable driver is DKU2.

I use Suse Linux and Knoppix. I've been trying to get my N70 to work in Suse for 2 weeks now. Been trying to get GPRS Easy Connect to work. Check it out at, www.gprsec.hu

I use suse10 it, detect my 6230 modem but for some reason it won't allow me to dial out with a blank name and password so i haven't connected with it yet.

Iam suse linux 10.1 user could u tel me how to connect my n70 as a modem and to configure free internet

K_s: what software do you use to connect your 6230 to Suse? You dont have to use a blank username or password! Use web/web and it should work!

I just go 2 the control center n go to modem list n my phone was listed under the detected modems, no extra software, i don't have suse open @ the moment so if u need more help just inbox me.

k_s: Thanks. Going to give it try when I get home from work. Hopefully I'll be able to get online with Suse tonight!

I conn my Qd wit bt to pc... But i bt drivers in linux r nt available so i cant connect.

Suse detected my N70 with no problem at all. I then setup the dial up connection just like I do in XP but for KInternet refuses to connect. EVen when I right-click on the tray icon and click on 'Dial in' nothing happens! Has anyone experienced similar problems??

Anybody been able to connect yet?

www.gnokii.org (or .com, try it). May be that site will help.

Looks interesting, thanks dude

Sorry I aint been here for a while. I use ubuntu and i use my nokia 3220 as modem no problem. I use the dialler program wvdial to make the connection. 1st i connect phone to pc using data cable, equivalent to dku5 i believe. Make sure u have wvdial installed, its default with breezy ubuntu. (continued--)

Next run wvdialconf command. I think u must run it as root, or sudo wvdialconf. This scans your pc for modems, and as yr phone is linked with cable, it will detect it. On my pc its detected at /dev/ttyUSB0. Wvdialconf also creates a file, /etc/wvdial.conf, u must edit that with data from the wvdialconf output plus info from yr provider (username, password, number to ring etc) (Continued...)

(Dialer Defaults) Modem /dev/ttyUSB0 Baud 230400 Init1 ATZ Init2 ATQ0 V1 E1 S00 C1 D2 +FCLASS0 ISDN 0 Modem Type Analog Modem Phone *99# Username A Password B Stupid Mode 1

Ah hell that didnt come out very well. Meant to be a copy of my /etc/wvdial.conf file, I copied and pasted it but the line breaks didnt work for some reason. Still, the info is there, u can see yr own file and see how to edit it i think. For orange u dont need username or password but if u leave em blank in the file it wont work so i used A and B here. (continued...)

Also see the final line, Stupid Mode 1, if u leave that out it will not connect. Phone number *99#, thats oranges number to make a gprs connection. (continued...)

Stupid forum! Should say Username (equals sign) A and so on. Anyway, u now enter command sudo wvdial. Various connecting text. Then it seems to stop. Its holding connection open for u to use. Go to GUI and launch browser, eg Firefox, it should connect. U may have to configure it to use ppp0, mine did that automatically. (continued...)
