It looks to me like you just need to get the settings figured out to get the modem to connect, and the modem itself is already working. Like I mentioned previously, every time I've used my phone as a modem, I just use a dialer like KPPP and dial #777 as the access number. I use Sprint though, so the settings that you would use are probably different. This page here may be of some assistance: http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/forum-replies.cfm?t=897808 It looks like Telstra uses *99# as its access number and telstra.internet as its apn which some networks require. What version of Fedora/Linux are you running? I have a Fedora 15 box here with a HUWEI modem (no sim card though), and it seems pretty straight-forward to get it to connect. In Network Connections, there is a Mobile Broadband tab. If you click Add, it launches a wizard to add a new connection. It will first ask you which modem/connection device to use, the next screen will prompt you for the region, the next screen will prompt you for a carrier, or you can enter one manually. The final screen shows you all 3 selections that you just made. When you click apply, it will prompt you to enter a connection name, and update the Number, username, and password. When you have that done, you just select the connection from Network Manager to connect. With the hardware I have on hand here, I can see that the modem is attempting to connect to the network, but as I don't have a SIM card in this modem (it is for international travel), it doesn't actually connect. I hope this is helpful.
