Has anyone gotten any Verizon EVDO air cards to to work with Ubuntu 7.10?* I have the Sierra 595U usb card and would like to know if it will work.

I have one of the Verizon cards working. I had to set it up under
Windows (they download something to it, I think), but then it worked
as a PPP device under ubuntu. I did a google search that found a page
telling me how to do it.

Do you have link on the setup?

Ok, I got Gnome PPP to connect and surf.* Setup was pretty easy.* Just used the following config:

Username: xxxxxxxxxx@vzw3g.com
Passsword: vzw
Phone number: #777


Modem
Device: /dev/ttyUSB0
Type: USB Modem
Speed: 115200

The only issue (well not really) I have is that after I connect, the dialer shows 'Dialing #777', even after it has connected and assigned an IP address.* How do I get the dialog to either say connected or just minimize?

OK, I use kppp, so I can't give you step-by-step.

But, somewhere in the configuration, there should be a modem configuration for USB0.* Here are some helpful settings:

Connect response:* CONNECT** (this should cause your dialog box to close when it returns CONNECT).

Dial string:* AT+CSQ;D
