a Windoze or Mac machine with the supplied CD or it won't work.
In Linux you end up setting it up as a dialup connection.
I was doing this with my phone successfully you can probably do so with the
usb device.
I was using bluetooth and usb.
The trick is to turn off dialtone detection and
Configuring Treo 700wx as modem on Mandriva - may work for other linuxes
1. install gnome-ppp and kppp (all)
2. install usb
3. Add one of following to /etc/rc.local:
The 0bb4/00cf below will be different;
1. /sbin/modprobe usbserial vendor=0x0bb4 product=0x00cf
2. /sbin/modprobe ipaq vendor=0x0bb4 product=0x00cf
The above lines will be different for you; specifically the
vendor/product numbers; they're hex so they need the leading 0x
3. run it manually
4. reboot
4. launch gnome-ppp
1. Enter username : <phonenumber>@vzw3g.com
2. password:vzw
3. uncheck the check for dialtone option
If all of the above won't work... you can create the dial file manually
vi /etc/wvdial.conf :
[Dialer Defaults]
Modem = /dev/ttyACM0 <this will proably be different for you>
Baud = 460800
Init1 = ATZ
Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D1 +FCLASS=0
Carrier Check = no
Dial Command = ATDT
Phone = #777
Username = <phonenumber>@vzw3g.com
Password = vzw
Auto Reconnect = yes
[Dialer verizon]
Phone = #777
Username = <phonenumber>@vzw3g.com
Password = vzw
Auto Reconnect = yes
To run: sudo wvdial
