I ended up getting the 3 service. So far I've been using it on Winblows and it is really good - a lot better than Hel$tra evdo/cdma (which I'm going to cancel). I'vwe just upgraded to Ubuntu 7.04 to get the prestalled drivers. In the ppp scripts supplied from the manufacturers website, it has the settings for the phone number and isp. Would anyone know what these settings are for 3?
