I have been trying like crazy and I can't seem to get anywhere. I get it working fine in Windows, but I am no where in linux. I come from Verizon originally so EVDO ppp chat scripts were pretty easy. I am not used to this whole GPRS data plan yet. So if anyone gets tether working in Linux on the TyTN II or Tilt please post a response here.

Thanks all...
P.S. This phone rocks.... the thumbwheel seems a bit flimsy, but that it really.

After many hours of tinkering, I got USB tethering with wvdial.

First, start the Wmodem program on the Tilt and select USB. Then click Menu-->Start
On the command line type: /sbin/modprobe ipaq vendor=0x0bb4 product=0x00cf
Now plug in your USB cable
If you type dmesg you should see that ttyUSB0 is now initialized
Create a /etc/wvdial.conf with the following:

[Dialer Defaults]
Modem = /dev/ttyUSB0
ISDN = off
Modem Type = Analog Modem
Baud = 460800
Init = ATZ
Init2 = ATZ+CGDCONT=1,"IP","ISP.CINGULAR"
Init3 =
Init4 =
Init5 =
Init6 =
Init7 =
Init8 =
Init9 =
Phone = *99#
Phone1 =
Phone2 =
Phone3 =
Phone4 =
Dial Prefix =
Dial Attempts = 1
Dial Command = ATDT
#Ask Password = on
Password = CINGULAR1
Username = WAP@CINGULARGPRS.COM
Auto Reconnect = off
Abort on Busy = off
Carrier Check = on
Check Def Route = on
Abort on No Dialtone = on
Stupid Mode = on
Idle Seconds = 0
Auto DNS = on

Lastly create a file called /etc/ppp/peers/wvdial containing the 2 lines:
lcp-echo-failure 0
lcp-echo-interval 0


Now at a command prompt type wvdial
You should see it connect and get an IP address
You can put the modprobe statement in /etc/rc.local

Hope this helps... it works for me (I am posting this via the USB tether right now)
Also, can an admin change this thread name and add a SOLVED to it?

Regards,
SC

You may want to start another thread on that one... likely a lot of people won't see it because they don't use Linux.
