Tmobile GPRS

[xaos x]

Still no dice... what's in your peer script? When I do a 'pppd nodetach debug call gprs' (gprs is the name of my peer script), it hangs right after "Starting GPRS connect script" and goes no further. I was able to connect once today using qtopia, but for some reason it never connected again after that and continued to hang at random times during the list of AT commands. I'm stumped as to what could be causing this issue. I did do a 

/etc/init.d/gsmd stop
echo "1" > /sys/bus/platform/devices/neo1973-pm-gsm.0/power_on
chown uucp.uucp /dev/ttySAC0
stty -F /dev/ttySAC0 crtscts

before calling the pppd script to no avail. Could this be a kernel issue? Which kernel are you using?

btw, how does one go about reconnecting to the operator network after stopping gsmd and running the above commands without rebooting? /etc/init.d/gsmd start doesn't reconnect to the tmobile network and issuing AT+COPS=? returns nothing.

I have t-mobile and the webconnect plan, and this worked for me, the version of the script you show 
did not work... Just change wap.voicestream.com to internet2.voicestream.com

 > cat /etc/ppp/tmobile-connect
TIMEOUT 20
ABORT BUSY
ABORT "NO ANSWER"
ABORT "NO DIALTONE"
ABORT VOICE
ABORT ERROR
ABORT RINGING
SAY 'Starting GPRS connect script\n'
"" +++
OK ATZ
OK ATE1
OK AT+CFUN=1
OK AT+COPS
SAY 'Setting APN\n'
OK AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","wap.voicestream.com"
ABORT 'NO CARRIER'
SAY 'Dialing...\n'
OK ATD*99***1#
CONNECT /n/d

I also had to do this to make it connect...

echo "1" > /sys/bus/platform/devices/neo1973-pm-gsm.0/power_on
chown uucp.uucp /dev/ttySAC0
stty -F /dev/ttySAC0 crtscts
pppd call tmobile-connect

If iIuse the gsm tool to send the AT commands manually, or if I echo them out in the connection script, it will get to a point where it just hangs. So, I hit CTRL+C to cancel it and run pppd again and it goes a little further. Eventually I can get past setting the APN, then when it tries to dial, it fails. I've tried both *99***1# and *99# to no avail (Tier level 3 support told me they use *99#).
