I'd like to keep wvdial around, I use it for connecting my laptop(s) through a mobile phone on occasion.
Does anyone still do that? I haven't used dial up for almost 15 years. My cell phone provides a network connection.
Connecting the computer to the internet using my mobile phone, yes. But I have not seen a mobile phone which exposes an actual modem for years, but some kind of ethernet connectivity, i.e. WLAN and/or Ethernet-over-USB (ECM). For USB-WWAN sticks (which do expose a modem(-lookalike)), I prefer using ModemManager + NetworkManager. Works great, and provides me with realtime information about the physical layer connection (2G, 3G, 4G, signal strength, ...).
