If you are intending to use the USB modem, I can confirm that it works
with Linux, and it is quite easy to set up.
Essentially the modem appears as a standard USB modem, and the
connection is made using the ppp tools.
I just helped somebody set up BigPond wireless on Windows, but was able
to get it going on my notebook with no fuss.
Feel free to contact me if you would like more info.
