I tried a number of 3G modems for an article I wrote last year and all |
| 7 |
of them worked. There were only two brands of modem supplied by the |
| 8 |
various telcos, Huawei and Novatel and they are very similar in |
| 9 |
operation. |

Vodafone have a software package for these modems, whichever telco you |
| 12 |
use, but it is tricky to get working with a shedload of dependencies. If |
| 13 |
is only needed if you want to do stuff like send SMS messages from the |
| 14 |
computer. For standard Internet usage, you only need the kernel modules |
| 15 |
and your favourite PPP software. |
