I have on my desk a 791L with the USB cable. And I have a spare desktop machine here -- in good running order -- with which to experiment. Finally, I have an IPCop 2.1.8 installation CD. So I start by: (1) installing IPCop (2) turn on the VerizonWireless AirCard 791L (3) plug the USB cable into one of the USB ports of the new IPCop machine Installation is successful. Next, I: (4) remove the installation CD (5) continue the installation by naming the machine and then I stall, at the dialog asking configuration type for RED interface. The options are: - analog modem - GSM/3G modem - ISDN - PPPoE - PPTP - static - DHCP What now? Russ
