Tata Indicom + Linux + LG LSP345

These are the scripts to connect to the internet with an LG LSP345 CDMA wireless terminal and Tata Indicom service.

This has worked on SimplyMepis (A Debian based distribution). Should work on any distro with pppd installed.

tata-connect.sh
#!/bin/bash
echo "user internet password internet" > .ppprc
pppd /dev/ttyS0 115200 debug usepeerdns defaultroute noauth connect '/usr/sbin/chat -v "" at+crm=1 OK "atdt#777" CONNECT' mtu 264
tata-disconnect.sh
#!/bin/bash
killall -9 pppd

Note: the third line(pppd ...) in tata-connect.sh is a single line. There is no line break.

Mepis is a Very Good distribution. I'm truly *amazed* at the simplicity. A review is in the offing. Watch this space!

hi pradeep

I have been using this script for a couple of months. This script will work only if u are in the /root directory. I have updated these scripts. And for those who still cant get internet working using Tata LSP345 i have an alternate method here

What i have noticed is that my download speeds using this is far too less than what i get in windows. If i start any download it starts with 10Kbps but continuously drops and gets steady to 2.5 or 3.0 in linux . Whereas in WinXP it stays consistently between 9 and 11 kbbs.
Any opinions.
