Hi Dave,

Unfortunately this didn't work either although I will keep these  
settings to hand as I'm going to try my 3 mobile via USB cable.

What I did find was this...

https://forge.vodafonebetavine.net/projects/vodafonemobilec/

It's a Vodafone dialer package which works (or at least the 1.99.17  
deb file worked).  Doesn't appear to support AMD64 on the experimental  
drivers and there isn't an AMD64 .DEB package (plus I couldn't get the  
source working on Hardy Beta AMD64).

Anyway, it's working on my Ubuntu 7.10 laptop (32-bit) with the .deb  
package and that's the main thing (as it's what my dad's running on  
his laptop).

It seems that I also had to specify CHAP authentication and manually  
enter the DNS addresses (which I poached from Windows).  I'll write a  
small howto later on when my dad brings his laptop back over.

Rob
