Hi, Dietmar,

You would use wvdial to connect.  First you have to run wvdialconf to 
generate a configuration file.

Good luck

If you've ran the pppsetup command, you should be able to login as root 
and type "ppp-go" command.

You should just be able to type:

ppp-on

If not, the script is located in /usr/sbin, so /usr/sbin/ppp-on will also
work.

If you get errors, then you may also need to look at the files in the
/etc/ppp directory.
