Well I didn't find where to look at the logs but I did find out some
very useful things.
1) After you setup with network manager you can just manually run wvdial
from a terminal and it works and you get to see everything I was talking
about.
2) It *IS* possible to insert the SIM into the device incorrectly. This
results in every attempt to DIAL returning "ERROR" in a terminal program
such as minicom using device /dev/ttyUSB0 for example. IE ATDT*99# = ERROR.
3) The Windows software gives you more explanation of ERROR - in our
case something to the effect of "Error reading USIM card". Oh yeah an to
spite claims to the contrary, the one we got we had to use the Install
CDROM. This is because Windows XP wouldn't see the emulated CDROM -
Ubuntu does but then the software on it's useless ;-)
4) Even before the software has been told to connect you see blue LED
flashes indicating network availability (Windows & Linux), ONLY when the
SIM is inserted correctly.
Does that mean you got the E180 working?

Oh yes. I forgot to say that. In a nutshell I was so impressed with the
ease of the setup I'd like to repeat it on a fresh laptop and take a
video capture of it and put it up on a website and send it and a link to
Three's support people.
