Dear Lazyweb,

Tell me about 3G [edit: yes, of course I mean cell modem] USB dongles and (Ubuntu) Linux

Love and kisses, Adam

most of them just show up as serial usb (ttyUSB0/etc) and then you get a special chat script to dial up with it. Some (like my novatel usb727) first show up as a cdrom drive, which I inject, then the serial devices pop up.

The one non linux compatible thing was registering the device, which I had to do on my mac. haven't needed a windows or mac thingie since.

... assuming you're talking about cellular wireless devices :P
