When you say that you can connect to the modem using minicom, does that
mean that you can issue AT commands through minicom and connect the
modem to the Internet?
You can try specifying a log file in the /etc/ppp/peer/provider file and
then read the file after trying "pon provider" to see what is
happening. That may give you some clues. If it says something like
"chat script failed", then you can look into the chat script
(/etc/chat/provider or something like that) to see if you need to change
your connection AT commands.
Also, here is a list of ppp-related drivers that I put into /etc/modules:
bsd_comp
ppp_deflate
ppp_async
crc_ccitt
zlib_deflate
zlib_inflate
ppp_generic
slhc

Right now I can connect to the modem using minicom. I changed the band to 850
Mhz (my internet provider's band) and enabled all functionality of the device.
After that I created a new connection with pppconfig but when I select to find
the modem automatically, it complains about not finding one.
Then I select /dev/ttyS0 manually, here's my config:
Number *99# Telephone number
User kolbi3g ISP user name
Password kolbi3g ISP password
Speed 115200 Port speed
Com /dev/ttyS0 Modem com port
Method PAP Authentication method
Modeminit ATZ Modem init string
ISPConnect \d\c Connect response
Pre-Login Pre-login chat
Defaultroute defaultroute Default route state
Ipdefault noipdefault Set ip addresses
Debug enabled Turn debugging on or off
Demand disabled Turn demand dialing on or off Persist
disabled Turn persist on or off Nameservers static
Change DNS
Add-User Add a ppp user
Remotename kolbi3g Change remotename
Idle-timeout none Idle timeout
These parameters were taken from a wvdial config file that I use to connect
through a Huawei USB 3G module and work fine, so I don't really know what is
going on...
I'm thinking about going back to kernel 2.4 and check that I'm doing everything
correctly.

wvdial works with the 2.4 kernel, but there is a bug in the 2.6 kernel
on the arm platform:
m(".../msg279471.html","//www.mail-archive.com/debian-bugs-closed");">http:
http://code.google.com/p/wvstreams/issues/detail?id=26
I was able to get the TS-GSM1 to work with the TS-7260 using the
2.6.21-ts kernel by using pppconfig instead of wvdial. Then, to connect
I just type "pon provider" and to disconnect type "poff provider", where
'provider' is the name of the provider that you specify in pppconfig.
Hope that helps.

Hello, I'm trying to connect to the internet using the TS-GSM1 module, kernel
2.6.21-ts and Debian Etch. I have compiled and loaded all the modules and the
modem is detected correctly, but when I try to use it with wvdial sometimes is
detected and sometimes not. How did you manage to use it? did you use wvdial or
pppd? Right now I want to use pppd directly since I have had problems with
wvdial in the past, if you can give some hints on how to make this module work
I would be very thankful!

I am running a TS-7260 with lenny user space, a 2.6.21-ts kernel, and a TS-GSM1
expansion card. I am streaming data across the cellular modem link using ssh
port forwarding. I notice that after a day or so of testing, I will often
observe unusual behavior with the board that goes away after rebooting. For
example,
(1) In one case, after terminating the test, I attempted to ping the remote IP address
and received this message "ping: sendmsg: No buffer space available". Odd.
(2) In another case, after the board had been up for a day, I attempted to look
at some of the pppd configuration files. Although the files were visible with
an 'ls', if I attempted to 'more' them, I would be told that the files did not
exist.
(3) After streaming data for 4 days over the ethernet connection (instead of the
TS-GSM1), I noticed an error message in the console window: "ERROR: (device
tssdcarda4): DT_GETPAGE: dtree page corrupt." When I attempted to move files
around, I was told that the file system was read only. After rebooting, things
functioned normally.
(4) After running for about a day, I attempted to run g++ and it seg faulted.
I attempted to run apt-get to reinstall g++, and it returned with undefined
symbol errors. After rebooting, things functioned normally.
I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced problems like these, and if anyone
has any ideas of what could be causing them. I thought that maybe there is a
memory leak somewhere, but I don't know how I would even check for that. Any
assistance is appreciated.
