Internet thru dialog GPRS

Many thanks to AR (www.linux.lk/~anuradha) for sharing the wvdial script during RMS' visit to sigiriya :)

To install wvdial (thought it comes preloaded with most distros)

# apt-get install wvdial


The /etc/wvdial.conf file for dialog GPRS/EDGE.

This worked with my w810i using the USB data cable on Ubuntu 7.10

Can't really boast of fast connectivity but its a life saver in emergencies :)
