Going online via nokia e71 through 3G!

I've been trying out blueman bluetooth with the 3G dial up and learned that its very instable. So i decided to switch to the usb cable which came with my phone.

I've stumble upon some blog talking about how to connect to their 3G provider.
I've reconfigured the configuration to suit maxis 3G setting.

1st:
Install wvdial: sudo apt-get install wvdial
2nd:
edit /etc/wvdial.conf
with the code below:

[Dialer Defaults]
Phone =
Username =
Password =
New PPPD = yes

[nokia]
Baud = 3600000
Dial Command = ATDT
Init2 = AT &F E0 V1 &D2 &S0 &C1 S0=0 +CGDCONT=1,"IP","","",0,0
Phone = *99#
Username = maxis
Password = 123
Stupid Mode = 1
Auto DNS = 1
New PPPD = yes


[Dialer nokia-usb]
Inherits=nokia
Modem=/dev/ttyACM0
Modem Type = USB Modem

3rd, to dial,
wvdial nokia-usb

tada! done.
