After a chat with Amos, I went searching for any experience with the installation of a ZTE MF626 USB modem (= the white Telstra dongle, $150 from the Telstra shop along with free sniff if you mention Linux).
A dogpile yielded the following: ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1147685 which is headed "How to install modem ZTE MF626 HSDPA in Jaunty". It involves getting the latest modeswitch, installing same and then editing it to recognise a modem. Those who tried it seem satisfied. Anybody in SLUG tried it?
