How to avoid wvdial for going into the internet with an USB GPRS modem?

[floppy]

hello,
how to avoid to use wvdial?
Till now, accoring http://forum.tinycorelinux.net/index.php/topic,11509.msg61207.html#msg61207 , I use it for going into the internet with

sudo wvdial pin
sudo wvdial fonic
start the browser

For an embedded system, I would like to write a script and avoid to use wvdial.
What type of command lines should I use?

So far I remember, I already see few commands anywhere, but I am still searching.. few links or advices are welcome.

Look at the pppd man page. you should use pppd.tcz and add some config files to /etc/ppp
I miss some examples in etc/ppp for what you're doing, setting the route automaticall, or getting the DNS servers from the provider. But they are there in other distributions.

these are some links in my bookmars that I used when I last had to set such thing up. Sadly there is no single page with complete, proper documentation available, you have to dig through multiple ones for anything to work seemlessly (often examples don't enable updating of resolv.conf, default route,...)
