and heres my wvdial.conf:
Code:
[Dialer Defaults]
Init1 = ATZ
Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0
Modem Type = Analog Modem
ISDN = 0
Phone = #777
Modem = /dev/modem
Username = 9999999999@sprintpcs.com
Password = sprintpcs.com
Baud = 9600
does anyone know what the appropriate user/ pass for sprint would be ?
