I tried a friends 3G USB modem from 3 recently. I pluged it in to my laptop running Intrepid, and a window popped up saying a new mobile broadband device had been discovered. It hen took me through a wizard that just asked me who was providing the service and that was it, it just worked! I could then use Network Manager to select the 3G connection and all was good. I was very impressed. Regards, Tony. -- Tony Arnold, Tel: +44 (0) 161 275 6093 Head of IT Security, Fax: +44 (0) 870 136 1004 University of Manchester, Mob: +44 (0) 773 330 0039 Manchester M13 9PL.
