And I have to say I am quite impressed. Just plug the Modem into power, and the other end into Ethernet and no set-up is required. Fedora 9 sees the modem/Network and automatically just works! We are "Last Mile" customers ( Just a few miles too far away, so we are unable to get DSL and have no cablevision here ). I managed to negotiate $19.95 a month, $75 for the modem and no set-up fees on "Portable Internet Basic": http://your.rogers.com/store/cable/InternetContent/PI_compare.asp I know this sounds like an advertisement, and I have read some other users of this product are not having as as much luck as me, but I am just tickled pink that I am actually getting something as advertised from a Telco. :-) I just purchased a similar service to Mobile broadband, called “Portable internet” from Rogers here in Canada.
