Thanks

Hi Rick, Terry and Doug
Re. the student's laptop my daughter asked about with the Sierra aircard
modem
I asked her to get the student to do a lsusb and the laptop reports:
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 003 Device 002: ID 8087:0024 Intel Corp. Integragted Rate Matching Hub
Bus 004 Device 002: ID 8087:0024 Intel Corp. Integragted Rate Matching Hub
Bus 005 Device 003: ID 13d3:5710 IMC Networks
Bus 006 Device 004: ID 0bda:0139 Realtek Semiconductor Corp.
Bus 007 Device 004: ID 1199:68a3 Sierra Wireless, Inc.
So, apparently it finds the modem.
From my reading it seems that it needs manual configuration of wvdial.conf
While I understand that Microsoft and Telstra seem to be in bed together
it seems strange that there is no automatic/easy setup for such a
commonplace modem. Pity there is no script available that any newbie
could run and install with minimum of fuss.
Have to find a way to advise the student, that's way out of my league.
Thanks
Roger
