<p dir="ltr">Great then connection wise we are fine then. I believe there is also free wifi in uom ( no idea how good is that though). With the 3 dongles we can create 3 access points :) for all the other machines.</p>

Works as a normal, serial modem. Just use USB ports... Either you use the graphical Network Manager or for console-lovers: wvdial and following options in /etc/wvdial.conf:<br>
<br>
[Dialer Defaults]<br>
New PPPD = yes<br>
Stupid Mode = 1<br>
Dial Command = ATDT<br>
<br>
; optional pin<br>
[Dialer pin]<br>
Modem = /dev/ttyUSB0<br>
Init1 = AT+CPIN=1234<br>
<br>
[Dialer emtel]<br>
Phone = *99#<br>
Username = emtel<br>
Password = emtel<br>
Modem = /dev/ttyUSB0<br>
Baud = 3774000<br>
Init2 = ATZ<br>
Init3 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0<br>
Init4 = AT+cgdcont=1,"ip","web"<br>
ISDN = 0<br>
Modem Type = Analog Modem<br>
<br>
Then you can connect like so:<br>
<br>
$ wvdial emtel<br>
<br>
This will establish the dialing and then dispatch the process to pppd. Also, check your [ch|p]ap-secrets for matching username & password.<br>
<br>
Works like a charm and I'll have one dongle on my office router, as fail-safe in case that the default WiMAX connection has an issue...<span><font color="#888888"><br>
