receiving mail, when supported by the cellular network. Set this to Off, unless
you are sure your network supports this option.

voice calls, see ”Telephone settings” on page 65. To see the current barring

provider. The password may be needed in the PPP authentication process.

Advanced settings — Opens a new set of options with which you can
further adjust the Internet access point, if required:

Modem initialisation — Enter any modem initialisation string
containing AT commands here, if needed. This initialisation string is
executed after the initialisation string you define in the Modem
initialisation: Custom

write and save a new login script.
If you choose None, your password and user name are automatically
taken from the Internet access point settings.
For more information on login scripts, see the scripts.txt file on the
