bioglaze's Journal: Cell phone modem

At last i set up my laptop so it can use my cell phone's (Nokia N73) Internet connection under GNU/Linux. I found some good tutorials, but there were some problems that i had to resolve. Nastiest problem was that when i plug in my phone, dmesg shows that its device file name is /dev/ttyUSB1 when in fact it is /dev/ttyUSB0. When i realized that and got things working, i'm amazed at modern mobile speeds. Several years ago i had GPRS and its speed was about 6 KiB IIRC. Now i get about 40 KiB/s! Because there isn't so much documentation on the 'net i decided to write a HOWTO:
