The last time I looked at these things the rogers sticks seemed to work teh best under linux. I was supporting someone who had one & I got it working under xandros on his netbook. I think i still have the magic incantation around somewhere? Telus i intensly dislike.. so.... Bell I was pissed off at. Everything wa spointing to it possibly working due to manufacturers support & documenttaion, but when i asked about trying it & returning it if it didnt work, i was told that i coudl return it within 48 hours provided it hadnt been activated. I asked... how can i know if i like it if i dont activate it to make it work. Again.. this was well over a year ago. Telus would like be teh same for support provided that they & bell are still using the Novatel stuff. Lots of documentation on ther website about making it work under linux...how to do it, etc. I am nt sue where you want to use it, but have you considered Wind Mobile? No contracts.. stick is 150 unlimited data plan _______________________________________________ clug-talk mailing list [email protected] http://clug.ca/mailman/listinfo/clug-talk_clug.ca Mailing List Guidelines (http://clug.ca/ml_guidelines.php) **Please remove these lines when replying
