Linux configure modem to connect to the Internet using a PPP dialup account

Q. I want to configure modem to dial out and connect to the Internet. Since I don't have good display card, I am not using the X window system. How do I configure (external) modem to connect to the Internet using a PPP dialup account under Debian Linux?
A. It is true that dialup modems have become almost obsolete due to broadband Internet connections, there are still situations where dialup access can prove useful :)
Under Linux you can dial out using program called wvdial. It is a PPP dialer with built-in intelligence. It dials a modem and starts PPP in order to connect to the Internet. The connection started with wvdial can be dropped by switching back to the terminal from where it was started and pressing ctrl-C.
The default configuration file is: /etc/wvdial.conf.

As well, we will write

Building Android on Beagle Board - Porting Android on Beagle Board

Updated instructions to use Android on the Beagle board
These instructions are derived from Embinux.org’s Android Porting Guide to Beagle Board, based on their work to port Android on the Beagle board. They correct multiple inaccuracies in this guide, and also add many useful details.
These instructions were tested on xubuntu 9.04. There shouldn’t be many differences if you use other recent Ubuntu or Debian versions.

Install needed software packages

At the time of this writing, note that Android requires Sun’s Java5 JDK, and doesn’t support the Java6 one.
apt-get update
apt-get dist-upgrade
apt-get install git-core bison sun-java5-jdk flex g++ zlib1g-dev
apt-get install  libx11-dev libncurses5-dev gperf uboot-mkimage
