[clug] Phone / USB Modems

[Ian Munsie]

Oh, before I forget, if you are in a 3G area I strongly suggest
setting your phone to always use 3G so that it doesn't go and roam
back to the slower-than-dialup GSM. Look under
Settings->Phone->Network->Network Mode. My N95 refers to this as UMTS,
other possible names include HSDPA, HSPA, 3G, 3.5G or 3G+. It will
probably be the only alternative to GSM or Dual Mode.

> As I mentioned, I believe Three has some subtle difference with their use of PAP or CHAP.

I searched through the list archives and found a post by Hal Ashburner
which seems to indicate that Three should work without any require- or
refuse- lines. Virgin and Optus should be the same (only difference is
in the T&C regarding capping p2p traffic and pricing).

On the day *I* go to work for Microsoft, faint oinking sounds will be
heard from far overhead, the moon will not merely turn blue but
develop polkadots, and hell will freeze over so solid the brimstone
will go superconductive.
