Since I moved my laptop to the new OpenRC init framework, my GPRS connection stopped working. At first I didn’t know what needed to be changed, but after having a careful look at /usr/share/doc/openrc/net.example and adjusting the proposed ppp chat script, I got it up and running again. Here is my configuration:

### GPRS ###

config_ppp0=( “ppp” )

link_ppp0=”/dev/rfcomm0″

pppd_ppp0=(
“noauth” # Do not require the peer to authenticate itself
“debug”
“local” # Ignore carrier detect signal from the modem

“defaultroute” # Make this PPP interface the default route
“usepeerdns” # Use the DNS settings provided by PPP

“lcp-echo-interval 15″ # Send a LCP echo every 15 seconds
“lcp-echo-failure 3″ # Make peer dead after 3 consective
# echo-requests

“lock” # Lock serial port
“115200″ # Set the serial port baud rate
“crtscts” # Enable hardware flow control
)

chat_ppp0=”
