my system IP for ppp0 is 101.***.***.*** and it's not static.
but from what I can remember all postpaid accounts in Australia have
10.***.***.*** addresses and are behind NAT.
I've yet to see any (non-SLA business class) USB UMTS modems by any of
the major Oz companies pre-paid or post-paid that don't use that
arrangement.
The only way I could SSH
was/by reverse port forwarding.
http://myip.dk/ will give you the remote access address. Just ssh to the
displayed address. I'd suggest you try - it's easier than just believing
everything you read on whirlpool. The signal to noise ratio there can be
bad. Exetel have good tech support - Vodaphail don't even know where
their towers are - and they wouldn't tell you even if they did know.
If you have a static IP plan - the myip.dk displayed address is still
the one you remote into to - *not* the ppp0 inet or p-t-p address.
I eventually ended up getting postpaid.
That's how it works in Australia. I believe you are not in Aus.
They've moved Canberra? Why wasn't I told??
See this post for more info.

You mean the ex-vodaphone social networking consultant?
NOTE: the person who told you it's not possible to vnc into your machine
is wrong too.

Thanks for sharing that info.

if you don't use samba at all (cifs-utils samba samba-common samba-common-bin smbfs) then change "samba" to "samba*"
I'd suggest using -s instead of --purge first - just in case samba was originally pulled in by another package which you want to keep.these are the files that will be uninstalled. I cannot see anything in there that* I am using:
The following packages will be REMOVED:
* cifs-utils libnfsidmap2 nfs-common nfs-kernel-server samba samba-common
* samba-common-bin samba-doc smbclient smbfs swat winbind
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 12 to remove and 4 not upgraded.

Probably portmap...
See if it's installed
$ dpkg --get-selections portmap
If it is, and it bothers you, it can be removed - check and see if anything uses it:-
# apt-get -s remove portmap | less
If it's the only package to be removed:-
# apt-get --purge remove portmap
Check your port:-
$ netstat -an | grep 111
Thanks for that info, once again. Much appreciated.
