Hi Bryan, my experience with USB modems was not really a happy party till now. USB stacks on linux OS changed a lot in years/distributions so it's was sometimes bad to manage. Same modem's manufacturer changed the internal modules so same models bought in different timeframes had different configurations/issues USB compatibilities on some fedoras (for example).
I've never used ethernet modems before, but I'd love to test some (can you suggest one ?) because I see some advantages: - more easy to cluster as it's nowadays easier to find a good working eth switch than a USB port replicator - usb ports die more frequently (in my opinion) and have more power problems that eth - eth can be more easily remoted from kannel than usb... (so for example you can host in house the modems and virtual-cloud your kannels somewhere else) On the otherside, I think that USB modems are less expensive...
