These are the steps that need to be followed
Check out whether you have wvdial software installed in your system. For FC4 it is automatically installed, so no issues..
Check in which serial port you have attached the modem (ie WFP) Normally it is ttyS0 or ttyS1
Login as Root user and check the following command “wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf” works..
Finally you should get something like this
“Found a modem on /dev/ttyS0.
Modem configuration written to /etc/wvdial.conf.
ttyS0<Info>: Speed 115200; init “ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0″
Next thing is we need to edit the wvdial.conf file, Add the following contents there..
[Modem0]
Modem=/dev/ttyS1
Baud=115200
Dial Command = ATDT
init1=ATZ
init2=AT+CRM=1
Flow Control= Hardware (CRTSCTS)
[Dialer reliance]
Username = YourUserName
Password = YourPassword
Phone = #777
Stupid Mode = 1
Inherits= Modem0
Close the file after saving the contents
Now type in “wvdial reliance” in the prompt … you should get the following
[root@localhost ~]# wvdial reliance

–> secondary DNS address 202.138.96.2
Now open up your fav browser.. in my case it is firefox.. jus type in any url and chk if net is working. If it works, you wil be lucky, if not, jus start the service named “service named start”
[root@localhost etc]# service named start
Starting named: [ OK ]
Now if you go back to the previous step.. and chk the pages it would probably load...
