Doesn't need to be so vintage - a USB GSM modem will typically appear as a serial port to be operated with the AT comand set (plus extensions). We're using one those for sending alert SMS'es. Not with wvdial though.
I had that, but it was 2 and 3 phones back. My current and previous phones both support tethering over USB or WiFi, which make it no different than plugging into my home network. My current notebook computer doesn't even have a serial port of dial up modem. The previous one came with a built in modem, but I lost that when I upgraded the WiFi from 802.11b to 802.11g. The modem was part of the same module as the old WiFi. The only time I need a serial port these days is when I connect to the console port on routers and switches. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
