Hi guys,

I have an Option NZ model Globetrotter card that I'm trying to make work Linux. As far as I can tell, the driver (nozomi) works, and I can see the /dev/nz_ devices.

But I'm not sure what the chatscript must look like - I'm not having any luck connecting.

Has anybody got this working?

Thanks

Hi, Thanks for your reply.

I have the card up with the nozomi driver, but I need the chatscript - if you can help with that I should get it going.

Thanks
 
Globetrotter card in Linux [solved]

OK, this is actually fairly straight forward. You need two files.

/etc/ppp/peers/globetrotter:

/dev/noz0
115200
idle 7200
lock
crtscts
modem
noauth
replacedefaultroute
defaultroute
user Anyname
password Anypassword
connect "/usr/sbin/chat -V -f /etc/ppp/globetrotter-chat"
noipdefault
usepeerdns
Miscellaneous Options

and

/etc/ppp/globetrotter-chat:

ABORT BUSY
ABORT 'NO CARRIER'
ABORT ERROR
REPORT CONNECT
TIMEOUT 10
"" "AT&F"
OK "ATE1"
OK "AT+CGDCONT=1,\042IP\042,\042internet\042"
SAY "Calling MTN GPRS\n"
TIMEOUT 60
OK "ATD*99***1#"
CONNECT \c


Download and build the nozomi driver from http://www.pharscape.org/3G/nozomi_060209.tar.gz

Insert the module:

# insmod nozomi.ko

and then connect:

# pppd call globetrotter

You can punch the info into your kppp config to connect at the click of a mouse.

Did this work at all?

Yes. Speeds aren't great - I got a download of 90 kbyte/s only once, for the rest it goes around 10-20 mostly. I'm not sure if that's a hardware/config issue or just reception where I am.

Are you using http://212.19.68.252/speed.html or something like this to test this?

Cause if that's the speed you getting are you in a GPRS, EDGE or 3G area?

First 128K 1396 msecs: Download speed = 93891 Bytes per sec, Approx = 781K bits per sec
Second 128K 2508 msecs: Download speed = 52262 Bytes per sec, Approx = 435K bits per sec
Third 128K 2786 msecs: Download speed = 47047 Bytes per sec, Approx = 391K bits per sec
Fourth 128K 1872 msecs: Download speed = 70017 Bytes per sec, Approx = 583K bits per sec

But the reception here at home is rather dodgy. The 90 kbyte/s was at work where I have good reception. I was downloading http://heanet.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/sql-ledger/sql-ledger-2.6.17.tar.gz

Good day,

Those speeds don't seem to bad, seems like you getting between 3G and HSDPA speeds?

When did I say that? I said, earlier, that speeds aren't great. With a 1.8mbit connection I expect to see much greater performance. What I'm getting feels like GPRS on a good day.

*BUT* I also said that reception where I live is rather dodgy, so I might very well be limited to GPRS/EDGE.

Quite happy with it.
