I am interested in buying a 3G modem to connect to some for our

the infrastructure of the DC.
I am looking for a modem supported under Linux (RH6), If someone has
already made his survey on this matter, or have proven experience on
the subject, I'd love to hear it.
A nice feature but not required, is to be able to restart/initialize
the modem remotely if it get stuck.
Asterisk has both a Nokia (USB or Bluetooth) channel driver and a Huawei
USB channel driver.
The Huawei driver, chan_dongle, allows you to make and receive calls and
make and receive SMS messages.
You can send SMS messages from anything that can issue Asterisk
commands, which is basically any task that can execute a command on the
that computer.
If you buy a Huawei dongle look for one that allows you to connect an
outside antenna. For example, my RSSI is 8 next to my computer, but with
an external antenna 10 meter cable outside on a railing, it peaks at 24,.
