Hi Roy,
Thanks alot for those quick and detailed instructions.
I guess I'll go signup today, now that I've some assurance. ;) Will
try it out and get back to you.
But, strangely, the instructions for FC3 seems more generic than does
for RHEL. Guess the same set of instructions will apply for Ubuntu too?

Hello Slugnet,
Does anyone have luck with the Singnet Mobile Internet USB dongle on
Linux? I use Ubuntu 8.04.
I'm thinking of signing up with any operators. I'll go for the cheapest
"unlimited" (5Gb?) plan but it has to work on Linux. So far, it seems
that Singnet has the cheapest offering.
I would be using it for simple demo-ing of web-based software.
[EMAIL PROTECTED] has been really awful lately for me. Usually, I would be
able to only connect to the access point but unable to get an IP.
Using Singnet Mobile BroadBand for quite some time - no nagging issues -
I use it on my laptops running either RHEL or Fedora - Here's the
generic setup instructions i.e. from memory - may or may not be a
step-by-step ...

Had to use this on a FC3 machine
Whoa, this was more challenging since we are not able to use the stuff
from vodafone.
Here's how I did it ... plug in the USB modem and do the following
rmmod usb-storage
modprobe usbserial vendor=0x12d1 product=0x1003
ls -la /dev/ttyU*
ln -sf /dev/ttyUSB0 /dev/modem
Things to note
1. invoke your "Internet Configuration Wizard" found under System Tools
in a Gnome Desktop to setup a new connection
2. number to dial is *99#
3. dns to use is 165.21.83.88 and 165.21.100.88
