Disclaimer: ex-Complex Data Tester I now have a configuration package (as a .deb) which I've emailed to Christian for testing. For the record - the data port on these devices is /dev/ttyUSB0 They are sold as a "Novatel U988" - they are actually an "Ovation MC998D" (I'm waiting of the chipset details).
