Down Came the Snow, Down went RCN Cable

Coicidentally with the snow today, RCN went to hell again but my Debian EVDO Router was ready. Actually got rid of the OpenWRT box (wasn't using the wireless anyway) and switched to wvdial, which has done a great job of automatically running pppd if the connection drops.

/etc/rc.local

if mount /dev/sr0 -t iso9660 /mnt
then
       echo "Found Novatel u727"
       sleep 3
       umount /dev/sr0
       eject /dev/sr0
fi

echo "1" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
iptables -A POSTROUTING -t nat -o ppp0 -j MASQUERADE
sleep 10
wvdial &

/etc/wvdial.conf

[Dialer Defaults]
Modem = /dev/ttyUSB0
Baud = 460800
Init = ATZ
ISDN = 0
Modem Type = USB Modem
Phone = #777
Username = ''
Password = ''
Carrier Check = no
Stupid Mode = yes

Obviously need to clean up the iptables rules, although I'm not terribly worried about it.
