(Telstra) Wireless Broadband USB Modem under Linux?

BTW, there should also be a 3[.5]G version of the Acer Aspire One in the future. The general spec sheet already mentions the specs, and for a layman like me, it looks like it will do everything, i.e. all the frequencies, both for GSM and UMTS [1]: Acer WWAN: UMTS/HSPA (High-Speed Packet Access) at 850/1900/2100 MHz and quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE (850/900/1800/1900 MHz), upgradeable to 7.2 Mb/s HSDPA and 2 Mb/s HSUPA (for 3G models) Supports receiver diversity and equalizes at 2100 MHz /Acer Not quite everything - no 900MHz UMTS, so it won't get full coverage on Optus's 3G network. It looks interesting though. OH and BTW I saw a "news" item the other day where a young bloke had used his mobile as a modem. In two months his bill had risen to some $40,000. Better check the fine print. In our newspaper it was Euro 40,000, about 1.7 times as much. So it looks like a little bit of urban legend with 40,000 in any currency. There must be *some* currency where 40,000 isn't too much! :-) There is - and it's an ex Dutch colony. 40,000 Indonesian rupiahs is about $5.50 or €3. |
