i set authname and key on the phone, so i can use 2 different
phones with two different operators without any changes on my
laptop.
and the phone "*99#" is what i got from the mobile operators
(it works via usb2serial cable)

I adjusted some parts which were not right :)
I have setup this file and dial string so long ago that i
can't even remember :)
I use 'resolv readonly' on purpose, because i set my resolv.conf
with nameserver 127.0.0.1 and also run dnscache (from djbdns)
on that ip.
everytime i connect the linkup script adds the DNS servers to
the dnscache config, and this greatly helps the
high latency gprs link :) (the setup similar for dhclient, using
/etc/dhclient-exit-hooks)
