Mamadzus99 - Handphone Modem at Linux

At this moment let me share my experience to connect Internet using Handphone as modem.
1. Connect your phone, and select to be modem.
you can check your phone modem has been detected or not.

mamadzus@mamadzus99:~$ sudo nano /var/log/syslog

Nov 15 21:37:53 mamadzus99 kernel: [ 1039.776197] usb 4-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 7

please look out at cdc_acm 4-1:1.1: ttyACM0: USB ACM device, it's mean your phone modem has been detected and named by 'ttyACM0'.

2. Create PPP connection:
mamadzus@mamadzus99:~$ sudo pppconfig

3. After PPP connection has been created. You can connect your phone using:
mamadzus@mamadzus99:~$ sudo pon xl (depend of your 'Provider name').
Usually when your connection successfully establish, you will get IP address and DNS server will automatically.
