Linux Archive - Trying to use a Maxon USB Broadband modem with Ubuntu 12.04

Hi

I have been trying to set up this modem using a Telstra (AUS)
datapack account with a System 76 Laptop running ubuntu 12.04.

The modem works fine with Win XP (different Machine) using the
Modemâ€™s config program however there is no such thing for Linux.

The modem is being recognised in the network connections
however it will not go through the final stages and connect.

The Modem is a Maxon Â*Model USB3-8521.

I think I have the modem setup correct

Â*

The following outputs may help:
