If you are using Maestro (Lite) 100 GPRS/GSM modem, can be a little bit difficult to do dial up using that device. Means we’re using the modem for dial up GPRS to connect to internet. It’s very rare modem, for really special purpose modem. A little bit hard to find the configuration on the internet. After doing some work around to find out, trying and searching the best way to connect with it. Finally I am able to connect.

Configuration:
OS: Ubuntu (Gutsy Gibbon)
Modem: Maestro Lite 100 GPRS/GSM Modem
Connection: /dev/ttyUSB0

Here’s the configuration in /etc/wvdial.conf, I’m using AXIS simcard (you can edit your own username, password and access point.
[Dialer Defaults] Username = axis Password = 123456 Phone = *99***1# Init2 = AT&F Init3 = AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","axis","0.0.0.0",0,0 Stupid Mode = 1 Inherits = Modem1 New PPPD = yes Dial Command = ATDT ISDN = 0 Modem Type = USB Modem

[Modem1] Modem = /dev/ttyUSB0 Baud = 9600 SetVolume = 0 Dial Command = ATDT Init1 = ATZ FlowControl = crtscts

After successfully dial up, you will be able to browse the web. Here’s some log when connect:
