In this howto we will see how quickly set up KPPP to connect Linux to Internet through the phone (or similar device as a modem on usb-key).
Obviously, we hope that the necessary hardware (mobile phone or other device) is already connected and works good on your computer.
If not, before going forward in reading this page, we recommend you follow our howto
<< INTERNET CONNECTION ON LINUX WITH MOBILE PHONE & BLUETOOTH >>
However, if the hardware is OK, we can proceed further and focus on KPPP.
1.Open KPPP e click on Configure:
2.In the Account Section click on New:
3.Will open a dialog box that asks you if you want to use the wizard or if you want to run the Setup Manual.
The wizard is very good if you use a 56k standard modem, but not for our purpose.
So, as you should deduced, click on Manual Setup:
4.In the Dial Section of the new window, enter a name for the connection you are creating in Connection name.
TIP: insert a name for easly identify the connection!
Once this is done, you have to add the phone number for the connection by clicking on Add... :
5.This will open a small window with the words Enter a phone number.
WARNING: The number to enter is not the phone number of calling card wich you use to connect!
The required number is specific for GPRS/UMTS-connections and may change depending on the mobile phone you want to use.
In the list below there are the main numbers used, grouped by phone brand:
ERICSON: *99***9#
LG: *99***1#
MOTOROLA: *99#
NOKIA: *99#
PANASONIC: *99***1#
SAMSUNG: *99***1# or *99**1*1#
SHARP: *99***1#

Other mobile phones: *99#
Other available numbers: *99*0*1*1#, *99**1*1#, *99***1#, *98#, *98#1, *98*1.
Obviously, to be more certain, we suggest you to contact the customer care of your provider / telephone operator.
Enter the appropriate number and click on OK:

The Primary and Secondary DNS may be requested at Customer care of your Provider / telephone operator.

ls /dev/ttyACM0 (and click ENTER)
Then, the same for other option:

If the device is available, the terminal show a word highlighted:
/dev/ttyACM0 or /dev/ttyUSB0
