[clug] Mobile broadband for linux?

[Ian McLeod]

I can confirm it works perfectly in Ubuntu 9.04 - I put my Nokia N95 in 
PC Suite mode and the Connection Manager picked it up - I then selected 
'Three' and bam it works - in fact better than under Windows as it 
doesn't drop out at all.  In windows it would periodically drop out and 
drive me balmy.  I'm very happy with the performance of my trusty little 
N95 seconded as a mobile modem.

Now if anyone can help me work out how to VPN back through home with 
that I'll buy them a pint of Guinness.
