wvdial script with knoppix & easy setup for Indian datacards - one trouble though

[Capricorny]

yes, it works excellently. It is a 3G modem, but since my SIM card is 2G I can use the card in 2G speeds only. reports itself as HSPAdatacard.
The lsusb code in detailed mode produces the attached output.
BSNLdatacard.txt.zip

This might still have little to do with Knoppix?
I was in a similar situation with a 4G mobile router/3G SIM card some weeks ago. Instability, frequent rebooting. Changed to 4G SIM card, problem solved.

My setup doesn't hang up frequently, works just fine!
I just wanted to learn where exactly in the code is the incremental time period is incorporated?
Recall:
--> Auto Reconnect will be attempted in 5 seconds
--> Auto Reconnect will be attempted in 10 seconds
--> Auto Reconnect will be attempted in 20 seconds
...........
and so on, i.e., a sequence of ar^n, where a=5, r=2, n=0,1,2,...,n
My question was how this happens, where in the script is this formulation given? Or is it with the wvdial code itself!

Oh, I didn't understand that. Sorry!

It has to be in the wvdial code, which can be inspected by installing Debian source packages, or similar downloads, like this one:

What happens in the script, is that a conf file for wvdial is generated from user provided parameters and defaults, and wvdial is then called with that configuration.

You had to go through the script wv-connect.sh. Please read the file carefully and then post. We have to understand that since our timezones are different, the redundant cycles of exchanges waste our time.
See particularly, the area EOT... and tmp file creation...

I told you, it is not in that script. OK?

Got it.
I can't read source codes, ... well, not very well.... Okay, will check and get back. I have posted an email to the Debian forum.
I have checked the aptitude information for wvdial and found an email-Id for the creator of wvdial, which is wvdial\[email protected], but it bounced back. How do you interpret that email-Id.? I also posted to [email protected].
Let's see what transpires from our endeavours.
