I'm pretty sure this is the model I use now:

expensive from the manufacturer, but should work on Linux, you can
check with them, but they are somewhat Linux aware:
$495
This is a rather elegant solution - I
have been using ever since the I-burst
network was shutdown (December 2008).
Virgin Branded/Optus network Modem (was
the best capped/shaped deal at the time)

3 Router: with 1 ethernet port and wifi.
I had to replace the router after
accidentally plugging my kogan power
supply into it. The price went upto $160)

By far the most simple guaranteed solution for everyone though would
be a MiFi 2372:

They are around $300-400 and are probably the best device,
configuration wise, as the computer connects via WiFi.
They share their 3G connection with up to 5 devices via WiFi.
They are battery powered with around 4 hours use, but I'm fairly sure
they can just charge / operate from USB (check with manufacturer on
that one).
Internode are selling them for use on the Optus network for $329, but
these are the 900/1900/2100 verson

Missed the start of this, but, FWIW:
I have:
100MB/month: Next G
Telstra Prepaid wireless running on Maxon BP3 USB Dongle
+ modem originally used with Bigpond)
+ it uses the prepaid phone system because the 100MB data blocks are
cheaper than on the prepaid broadband plan. It's actually easier to
register the sims that way.
Thanks for the details.
Does anyone know what chipset the Telstra turbo dongle uses?
