Just installed the 9.10 distro of Ubuntu the other day and it configured up just the way you said. Very simple matter of just selecting the the G3 broadband provider under the Mobile Broadband tab and telling it to connect. And it did it...very quickly!

From a pain in the ass to painless. I'm impressed.

Thanks for all the help everyone.

Hooray! I'm glad that you were able to get it working.

I too am impressed at how far Linux has come in the past few years; the other day I plugged in an older HP DeskJet to my Ubuntu system and before I could start poking around it announced that the printer was ready for use. Great!
