[SOLVED] ZTE MF110 modem

Hello, forum, haven't seen you in a while.
As the title probably told you already, I'm having some issues with a ZTE MF110 modem under Puppy Linux. I'm using the latest Puppeee on an Eee PC 701, but I also want to get it working with Puppy 4.1.2 on an old Celeron (500MHz, 64MB RAM) laptop.
Anyway, PupDial picks it up as /dev/ttyUSB1, so there doesn't seem to be a problem with detecting it (4.1.2 might suffer from that). The thing is, my carrier does not use phone number, username and password to connect, just the APN. The problem is wvdial doesn't let me connect without those. I can probably substitute *99# for the phone number, but I can't put anything in the username and password fields; wvdial just waits a minute or so for some "prompt", then gives up and runs pppd, which times out soon enough and leaves the modem in some kind of loop. I have to unplug and replug it to try again.
The modem works; I've tested it on Ubuntu, its derivatives (incl. Lubuntu, after installing ModemManager) and Fedora.
Any suggestion is welcome.

It's been forever, but I recently got this sorted out (Fluppy 013 with a Huawei E172 + my SIM from Digi.Mobil).
Phone no.: *99#
Username: whatever
Password: whatever
APN: internet
These settings work for Orange Romania too, I tried it.

Cool, Simple is best, eh?
Can you add 'Solved' to the Subject line on your first post, please

I don't think he should add "Solved" as, AFAIK, he didn't get the ZTE MF110 working.

@Aitch, indeed, I forgot about that. Sorry.
@muggins, I recall the MF110 was detected, but I didn't know the correct configuration, so it's pretty much solved.
